About the Conference

BIEE’s Oxford Research Conference is a biennial research conference that seeks to understand the drivers of change in energy, both positive and negative. The conference is aimed at energy analysts, researchers, strategy and policy thinkers from all backgrounds, including industry, academia and research organisations, government, the finance community, NGOs and consultancies.

‘The conference is a fantastic opportunity and melting pot for people in the energy industry, from government, from academia, from other research organisations. One of the real advantages and one of the special features of the BIEE conference is it’s a place where all of those energy interested people come together. They learn from each other they spark off each other and they build new networks and new coalitions to help drive the energy sector forward.’

Prof Matthew Leach, University of Surrey,
BIEE 2018 Committee member

Read Matt Hannon’s blog ‘ Why you should go and why youll want to come back in 2020‘

Conference Theme

The 2018 conference will focus on the changing role of the consumer in the energy system, regarded by  some ( but not all)  in the industry as one of the big transitional issues of the coming decade. With the emergence of advanced technology, ‘smart’ consumers, (both industrial and domestic) can potentially make more informed choices about when and how much energy they use and ultimately become ‘prosumers’ – energy producers and storers – themselves.  Consumers are going to be vital in the move towards decarbonising heat and transport. But most consumers are just not that interested in energy, and lack the engagement that drives disruption in other sectors, so how far, how fast and in what ways will this change ?

The conference will explore the  challenges and opportunites for an energy system where connected consumers are key drivers, ‘acting as the market makers rather than market takers of today’  and will look at the ways markets, business models, technology and regulation will need to change in response.
