Supergen Energy Networks Hub Annual Conference 2025: Driving Impact Through Collaboration
14.05.2026
Director of Supergen Phil Taylor said:
“There are some really big challenges that the UK faces regarding energy systems. One of them is: ‘how do we get to net zero?’ We’re helping tackle that challenge. The other big question is how do we also remain resilient to the effects of climate change – we put energy networks front and centre in that conversation”
A strong line-up of speakers brought both UK and international perspectives. Cathy McClay (National Grid DSO) and Phil Jones (Northern Powergrid) shared insights from the front line of energy system transformation, while Professor Anjan Bose (Washington State University) and Adama Gassama-Jallow (University of The Gambia) highlighted global challenges around renewable integration and inclusive energy access.
Sessions explored key themes including operating future energy grids, strengthening system resilience, and ensuring inclusion in the energy transition, alongside a dedicated workshop on inclusive energy networks. A strong Early Career Researcher presence also reinforced the importance of building skills, networks and new ideas for the future.
Above all, the conference demonstrated the value of collaboration, bringing together different perspectives to turn research into real-world impact. Through new connections, shared learning and ongoing conversations, Supergen continues to support the co-development of solutions that will shape sustainable and resilient energy systems.
