1Spatial's Adam Douglas, our utility expert, is set to attend the Energy Innovation Basecamp 2024 launch event at the Mercure Manchester on March 5th. The event follows the success of last year's innovation Basecamp, with network operators presenting new 'Problem Statements' outlining technical challenges in areas like flood alarms and fleet decarbonisation. Attendees can review the statements, ask questions in the Basecamp Virtual Q&A, and submit ideas via the Smarter Networks Portal after the launch.

This going to be a wonderful event with the opportunity to collaborate with peers to solve these ‘problems’... register and join Adam!

Ofgem will also unveil Round 4 Strategic Innovation Fund Challenges at the event, providing an opportunity for involvement in Energy Networks Innovation in 2024. The submission window for Basecamp ideas will be open for six weeks, with successful proposals advancing to the Basecamp Pitching Event on June 24th-26th.

This event will focus on the below:

  • Data and digitalisation
  • Net zero transition
  • Optimized network assets and practices
  • A just transition
  • Whole energy system transition
