How Satellite Imagery can support a net zero transition

techUK hosted a webinar on 2 September 2026 bringing together the telecoms sector, government and local authorities to share early findings from a pilot programme that has been running since the summer to identify and support customers in vulnerable circumstances through the digital landline switchover.

The UK SPF Cluster 4 workshop brought regulators, operators and technical specialists together to debate whether the rules that govern sharing between GSO and NGSO satellite systems are still fit for purpose. With WRC-27 approaching, the conversation has moved beyond “incumbents versus newcomers” into a more complex question: how to protect existing services while enabling the next phase of satellite connectivity.

Lucy Yu's independent review into AI deployment in electricity networks, "The Grid We Need Now", was published alongside Government's "Vision for an AI-enabled clean energy system". Together, these two publications represent a significant milestone in policy development relating to how AI is applied within energy, ahead of a strategy from Government due later this year (2026).

Catch up on this discussion as the Digital Landline Switchover approaches.

One year after the Modern Industrial Strategy, and following a more recent Government restructure, the UK Government has launched a new Space Strategy.
