The road to 2050: The need for flexibility in a high renewables world
Aurora Battery Conference 2019 was our fourth annual event dedicated to flexible energy, batteries and energy storage. Joined by distinguished speakers and panellists, and informed by Aurora’s unique analysis, the conference brought together the insights and perspectives of the organisations and people who will shape the future system.
We heard business leaders, government, and experts discuss and debate the issues central to the low carbon energy transition, including the need for flexibility, the role of flexible assets in achieving Net Zero, and the associated key risks and financing challenges.
