Focus on Solutions

The targets in developing content for European Utility Week 2014 are threefold: to offer greater quality access free of charge; to offer

greater levels of interaction and debate; and to deliver more time to hear from and question leading utility presentations.

• We have moved over 50% of content that would previously have been reserved for the conference onto the exhibition floor. This

now takes the form of the free-to-attend ‘Case Study Programme’. It offers a huge number of technical case study presentation

which reflect current best practice and innovation in the industry. In keeping with our strict policy on vendor pitches, the vast

majority of these presentations are delivered by utility representatives.

• Following feedback from the 2013 event we have developed far more scope for interactive discussion and debate via roundtable

sessions. Given the quality of delegates we attract, we have a firm belief that the opinions of our attendees should be as valued

as those of our speakers. Therefore, over the afternoon of 5 November virtually all sessions taking place in the ‘Strategic

Programme’ (taking place in the conference area) will be devoted to roundtable discussion, offering the chance for you to share

your knowledge and discuss with your peers. Across all tracks, over 16 hours of roundtable debate will be available for delegate

participation.

• We also understand that 20 minute presentations – as was previously the norm – are often not enough for understanding in full

certain topic areas, whilst also offering time for Q&A with the audience. Thus we have a policy in place now that all utilities are

given 40 minute time slots in the ‘Strategic Programme’ in which to deliver their presentation. Non-utilities, meanwhile continue

to have 20 minute slots. At European Utility Week we value most of all the voice of the utilities and we will be pushing this more

than ever at the 2014 show.

Kind regards,

Official Opening Session

10.00-10.15 Welcome

10.15–10.45 How New Capabilities and Expectations can Transform the Business Model of the Energy Sector The world is changing fast. Tomorrow's citizens will want and expect more control, more freedom, less hassle and more enjoyment from everything they do. Instead of selling energy to passive consumers, energy utilities can help everyone be their own energy manager or entrepreneur but this will require firms to think and organise themselves differently. This presentation offers a vision of how society and energy service companies can work cooperatively and successfully.

Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, Royal Society of Arts

10.45-11.10 Switching on the Consumer: The Democratisation of Energy Lower Costs, cleaner energy, self-sustainability and a greener Image. These are just a few of the benefits huge corporations are awakening to across the world of developing power-generating capacity, most notably wind and solar. As this trend grows, what are the implications for the future of energy retail and what becomes of the traditional utility model?

Ian Marchant, President, Energy Institute and ex CEO of SSE

11.10-11.35 Fire-side Chat - Customer Appeal: Combining Substance with Style Making consumer appliances stylish, even ‘sexy’, is a proven way to make waves in the market. Just ask the founders of NEST. This session exposes the thought processes behind delivery of the NEST product and ask what new innovations can we expect to see that will raise consumer interest in energy.

Tony Fadell, Founder and CEO, NEST

interviewed by: Adam Malik, Content Director, Engerati

AM | 4 NOVEMBER 2014

11.35-12.00 Technology outlook in achieving a utility 2.0. model The energy system is changing with increasing speed. This is mainly due to the changing generation mix having and rising share of renewables with variable output on all voltage levels and distributed generation. What role will technology and innovation play in the creation of utility 2.0? What are the fundamental changes we are foreseeing in the market?

Michael Weinhold, Chief Technology Officer, Siemens, Energy Management

12.00-12.40 CEO Panel Session: Pose Your Questions Using pre-selected questions taken from our online smart energy community, we put your questions to this leading panel of utility CEO experts. Topics covered will range from evolving business models, visions for the future and, in keeping with our theme for 2014, ‘switching on the consumer’.
