Control Costs and Build Resilience
As energy and water markets continue to shift, organisations face growing complexity across their utility bills. While wholesale prices remain important, a greater share of costs now sits outside the commodity itself — from network charges and policy costs to data, settlement and system pressures.
This year’s conference theme, “Control Costs and Build Resilience: Market, Costs and Clarity,” focuses on understanding how those changes translate into real-world bills and what organisations can do to respond effectively.
Across a full day of expert-led sessions, the event will explore:
- How market dynamics and non-commodity costs are reshaping energy bills
- Practical approaches to forecasting and managing cost risk
- Turning data and visibility into operational control
- Strategies for resilience including on-site energy, PPAs and flexibility
- The role of governance, procurement strategy and policy reform in long-term cost management
A Practical Programme for Utility Users
The programme is designed to provide clear, decision-focused insight for large energy and water users. Alongside presentations and case-based discussion, the event will feature interactive Q&A sessions and the popular “7 Cubed” rapid-fire presentations — seven speakers presenting seven minutes of focused insight on emerging industry topics.
