WIG is delighted to host Clive Maxwell CBE for this briefing session to share insights into priorities for his teams at the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ), following the department’s formation in February 2023.
Achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 remains a central concern shaping policy and business strategy across the UK. DESNZ was created to focus on the energy portfolio from the former Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), with a remit that covers delivering security of energy supply; ensuring properly functioning energy markets; encouraging greater energy efficiency and seizing the opportunities of net zero to lead the world in new green industries.
Watch this briefing with the Second Permanent Secretary for your opportunity to:
- Learn more about progress on 2023 departmental priorities including securing long-term energy supply for the UK and bringing down bills
- Identify where organisations across the sectors can work together to speed up delivery of network infrastructure and domestic energy production in support of Net Zero and economic growth
- Discuss opportunities for collaboration in the development of emerging CCUS and hydrogen sectors
