On Thursday 29 July, techUK and the Energy System Digitalisation Taskforce are convening a Roundtable with members from techUK’s cyber security community to explore the future role of cyber security in our increasingly digitally transforming energy sector.
The Energy Digitalisation Taskforce (EDiT) has been launched by the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, in partnership with energy regulator Ofgem and Innovate UK, to continue the Government’s focus on modernising the energy system to unlock flexibility and drive clean growth towards net zero emissions by 2050. The taskforce, chaired by Laura Sandys CBE, follows the highly influential Energy Data Taskforce, which initiated a wave of energy data activity across government, the regulatory, and the energy industry.
EDiT have been asked to deliver a set of actionable recommendations that sit at the intersection between policy, regulation and innovation to challenge the status quo and deliver the energy system transformation that we need to meet net zero. EDiT will consider the market design, digital architecture and governance of a modern digitalised energy system.
This is an excellent opportunity to help support the Taskforce’s thinking in how cyber technologies can both improve the resilience of our energy infrastructure in the face of an evolving threat landscape, as well as drive future adoption and trust in a digital system.
Book your place on this Roundtable today!
