Synopsis

With the UK targeting 100% clean power by 2030, hydrogen is key to balancing the grid, decarbonizing power, and ensuring energy security. This panel explores hydrogen’s integration into the power sector, its role in replacing natural gas, and the regulatory, funding, and infrastructure updates shaping large-scale deployment.

  • How does the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard impact Green Hydrogen projects?
  • What are the implications of NESO’s connection reform program on project timelines and costs?
  • How will DESNZ assess the market for future Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HAR), and what can developers expect?
  • What strategies can mitigate grid bottlenecks and optimize energy procurement for hydrogen production?
  • How can hydrogen help stabilize the grid alongside renewables and act as seasonal energy storage?
