Future of Utilities: Smart Energy 2025

Future of Utilities: Smart Energy is one of the UK’s leading events focused on the digital transformation of the energy sector. Over two days, it brings together high-level decision-makers across utilities, regulators, tech providers, and infrastructure firms. The event is about how the industry can modernise to meet the challenges of decarbonisation, decentralisation, and digitalisation. With topics like smart grid evolution, data-driven energy services, real-time flexibility, and the rise of the “prosumer”, it’s a key platform for understanding what’s next for the energy landscape.

This is a senior-level, content-rich conference designed for professionals shaping the future of energy. It features multiple focused content streams, covering areas such as smart meter innovation, digital customer journeys, grid resilience, and cloud/data infrastructure, alongside keynotes, panel discussions, case studies, and start-up pitches. It’s also a strong networking opportunity, with curated 1-to-1 meetings and informal events aimed at fostering collaboration, partnerships, and innovation across the sector.

The event takes place on 1–2 December 2025 at Convene, 133 Houndsditch, London. This year’s themes are highly relevant: from AI and advanced data analytics to cyber security, virtual power plants, and Energy-as-a-Service models. It’s a timely chance to gain fresh insights, benchmark against industry leaders, and explore how emerging technologies and customer expectations are reshaping the energy ecosystem.
