The energy transition is already underway, which means that the assumptions underpinning comparisons of coal, gas, solar and wind power generation options are constantly changing.
The event will discuss how changes to key variables such as capital costs, technology costs, capacity factors, asset life, and timing of generation can impact the economics of power options being considered by utilities.
These assumptions determine which electricity generation options appear most financially attractive – and feed into a range of energy system models and scenarios. It is critical that those using these models and their outputs understand the need to regularly update and refine the inputs to get the most up to date analysis.
The panel of industry, policymaker, and the investment community will then discuss how they deal with this changing landscape in making decisions about our future energy supply.
Note – this is a change to the original content – our work with the Grantham Institute at Imperial will be launched later in the autumn to enable necessary further modelling work to be completed.
