Energy prices – will they have to go through the roof to finance record levels of investment?

London, 24 September 2009 (09:00 - 16:45)

Although the Energy utilities are facing increasing uncertainty and risk, there are immense opportunities for growth as a result of the urgent need to decarbonise energy and improve supply security. In addition, companies are having to meet the growing number of regulations designed to deliver ever lower levels of carbon emissions. This era of rapid change associated with new technologies, new offerings and new business models requires huge amounts of funds to be generated and invested. This is also an era of dependence on imported energy from potentially unreliable suppliers. Policy-makers are having to juggle three balls simultaneously, aimed at delivering energy supply security, decarbonised energy supplies and affordable prices. Are all three policy objectives really achievable? Or will efforts to deliver supply security and decarbonisation result in energy prices going through the roof?
