Latest findings from Electric Nation to be presented at Balancing Act, 21 November 2018
The latest learnings from the Electric Nation project will be presented at Western Power Distribution’s Balancing Act Conference, which takes place in Bristol on 21 November 2018.
At 10.30am Nick Storer from EA Technology – Electric Nation’s project manager – will share what is known so far about participant customer research, along with other learning from the project. The presentation will be introduced by Ricky Duke – Innovation & Low Carbon Networks Engineer, WPD.
This Balancing Act Conference will be focusing on Electric Vehicles.
The UK Government is committed to the electrification of transport and a zero emission future. Progress towards this mission has already seen a significant investment into low carbon vehicles, grants and schemes, and the installation of charge points across the UK.
The impact of the adoption of electrification of transport is widespread and this conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the challenges that electricity networks are facing, and the solutions WPD is working towards.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to explore the latest learnings from WPD’s electric vehicle and innovation projects related to EVs.
