We are committed to accelerating the transition to clean and resilient power system by reforming grid operations, power markets and planning processes. Our focus is on enabling the deployment of key technologies such as wind, solar and energy storage at scale and speed, which will in turn accelerate the decarbonisation of heat, transport and industry.
To achieve this, we are addressing several critical barriers currently slowing down the transition to a clean power system:
By tackling these challenges, we aim to pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable power system that supports economic growth and environmental goals. You can see our latest insights in clean power below.
