Creating the network of the future - RIIO-ED2 innovation strategy

14/12/2020 9.30+10.30
Online

This event is being hosted by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks

We believe that three main objectives that will drive the need for innovation as we build the network of the future: value for money for customers, meeting the needs of our stakeholders and enabling Great Britains low carbon transition. To achieve this we need to drive further innovation and also ensure we realise the full value of existing innovative work delivered across the industry.

As part of the development of our RIIO-ED2 business plan submission to Ofgem, we are seeking to co-create with stakeholders across the innovation community to shape our innovation strategy and approach to innovation over the period from 2023 to 2028.

We are seeking stakeholder insights on mechanisms which could be adopted and formalised as part of our innovation strategy, to ensure that we continue to innovate across all aspects of the meet our objectives and deliver value for customers. Potential mechanisms should include:

1 Enablement for SMEs, academics and individuals to put forward innovative ideas and concepts that are aligned to the needs of our business.
2 Horizon scanning to identify assess new technologies, commercial arrangements and best practices.
3 Stimulation of innovation throughout the community and across the wider supply chain.

The purpose of the workshop is to enable the innovation community to be part of our RIIO-ED2 innovation strategy development process through taking into account your ideas on how to shape the 2023-28 strategy and ultimately put these into practice in our business.

Following the event, we would welcome any views and feedback you would like to also be considered.
