Focus on: Water
Top water speakers at The Future of Utilities:
Overview:
Sustainability in the water sector is a challenge being fought on multiple fronts. Water stress in some regions of the UK is already at worrying levels and showing no signs of abating. More variable and less predictable weather is putting even more pressure on aging infrastructure. And affordability in water is becoming an increasing issue for companies as they attempt to deliver much needed investment. The Water White Paper needs to deliver clear guidance for the water companies as they attempt to steward the UK’s water resources through the challenging years ahead.
Key issues to be discussed on Water:
- Addressing water stress: how can companies encourage consumers to use less of so cheap a resource?
- Retail changes are on the horizon but will consumers feel the benefit?
- How should companies act to increase the resilience of their disparate infrastructure?
- How can one of the UK’s biggest energy users minimise its appetite for energy in the face of rising prices and tough targets?
