Working Group

PURPOSE

The Working Group brings together stakeholders across nine tracks to identify barriers slowing deployment and co-develop solutions that enable technologies to progress from concept to commercial implementation.

It analyses challenges across all deployment phases, producing outputs that shape roadshows, the Summit programme, and the Energy Technology Deployment Blueprint, ensuring it reflects real-world issues and proven solutions.

The Deployment Blueprint

Select a phase transition to explore its objective

PT1 Lab → Pilot Readiness
Objective

Stage Gate

Several key levers exist to accelerate the energy transition

01

Policy

02

Demand Side Behavioural Change

03

Technology Development & Deployments

Both policy and demand side behavioural change are critical, but the Technology Deployment Blueprint focuses on Technology Development & Deployment, primaruly on:

Effective Technology Scale Up

Successful Project Delivery

Energy Technology Innovation Challenges:

  1. 01

    Information Overload for Technology Founders

    We are just bombarded with so much information it’s impossible. To support start up technologies, you really need to make it simple
  2. 02

    Asymmetrical technical & commercial progression

    Lop sided progress can lead to:

    • A demonstrated technology in search of a market
    • A waiting market without a working technology
  3. 03

    Technology Development & Delivery Risk

    Technology risk, Integration risk & organisational maturity compound an already challenging capital delivery industry:

    • On Time, on Budget, on Spec is rare. Particularly where innovation is involved
  4. 04

    “Valley of death”

    The well acknowledged “valley of death”

    • Central to UK Governments Industrial Strategy and a well acknowledged challenge

The Solution

01

A lifecycle approach:

Helicopter view. A macro visualisation of:

  • a.what to do,
  • b.when to do it,
  • c.why it’s important
  • d.key interactions & dependencies
02

An 9-track integrated deployment model

  • a.A balanced approach, ensuring all key elements are considered and asymmetric scaling is avoided
03

A 360o Ecosystem Approach to Deployment Best Practices

  • a.Accessible Blueprint for all
  • b.Cross function Best Practices
  • c.Risk Management Integrated throughout
04

Blended Finance Solutions

  • a.One area already with a lot of focus: Integrate existing frameworks within our 360o deployment model.
  • b.Both public and private financing institutions involved
  • c.Highlighting Innovative Insurance Solutions ++
