Why attend?
The Lightning Bolt Talks have become a firm fixture in the energy sector calendar, known for fast-paced, thought-provoking talks from industry experts. This September’s edition will bring together bold ideas and practical solutions to some of the sector’s biggest challenges, from supporting consumers to accelerating the energy transition.
Whether you work in energy, policy, data, technology or innovation, the evening offers a valuable opportunity to gain new insights, expand your network and exchange ideas with your peers.
As sponsor of the Lightning Bolt Talks, Engage Consulting is proud to support the conversations that are shaping the future of the UK energy system. Innovation and collaboration sit at the heart of the energy transition, and events like these help turn fresh thinking into practical progress.
Hear from Engage Consulting’s Grace Carroll
We’re especially pleased that our own Grace Carroll will be among the speakers at this event.
Grace will explore how flexible energy systems are unlocking opportunities from data sets and organisations that were never solely intended for energy market participation, such as charge point operators and battery companies. She will look at the growing role of aggregators since the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) introduced the Virtual Lead Party role in 2019, and how this has expanded through new roles such as Asset Metering Virtual Lead Parties and Virtual Trading Parties.
These developments are bringing new organisations into the sector, and with them, new opportunities. Grace will also touch on how Engage Consulting supports organisations entering the energy market for the first time, helping them navigate the sector and realise the value of their data in this evolving landscape.
Grace Carroll says: “I’m excited to be speaking at the Energy UK Lightning Bolt Talks on the 23rd of September. I’ll be talking about how flexible energy systems and Virtual Party roles unlock opportunities for organisations and data sets that may not have been planned for energy markets.”
Chris Cook, Head of Consultancy at Engage Consulting, says: “The Lightning Bolt Talks capture exactly what the industry needs right now: fresh thinking, shared openly and at pace. Data and innovation are central to building a smarter, more efficient energy system, and we’re proud to sponsor an evening dedicated to exploring how we get there together. I’d encourage anyone working in or around the sector to come along.”
