Randolph Brazier, Director of Innovation & Electricity Systems at Energy Networks Association at Energy Networks Association which represents the UK and Ireland’s gas and electricity network operators said:
“Our Open Networks project is leading the transition to smarter local networks, where using smart technology not only allows more electric vehicles and heat pumps to be running in people’s homes, but also means that they can begin to generate money for communities participating in those markets.
“As we’ve seen with our recent Green Recovery project, accelerating investment is possible with the backing of a flexible regulator and it enables energy networks to better equip local communities to deliver the Net Zero energy system that customers need.”
