Following on from ENERGYx2020/21, COP26 and the UK government’s drive for us all to reduce the use of fossil fuels ENERGYx2022 will be a great place to benchmark our progress. The challenges reaching Net Zero creates for transmitting and distributing electricity whilst maintaining safe and reliable networks, though not insurmountable requires a lot of joined up and collaborative thinking.
With the proliferation of working from home it has become more difficult to meet and network with potential customers and suppliers and therefore events such as ENERGYx and The Electrical Engineers Circle have grown in importance.
