How might data, software and green technologies within a smart network, reduce energy costs?

With the huge impact of rising energy bills across the water utility sector and our goal to be carbon neutral by 2030, it is critical that we find new ways to generate and store energy.

Whilst renewable technologies are relatively mature, how can we overcome the significant challenge in plugging these appropriate technologies into the UK’s already constrained grid system? How can we leverage data and new innovative green storage solutions to increase energy self-sufficiency and network resilience which are essential to enable the transition to a zero carbon energy system? And how can we gain visibility and control of our water network to reduce energy costs and emissions in the short, medium and long term.
