We discuss:

• The state of innovation in the UK energy sector and where the country has particular strengths.

• The challenges of building an energy system that works as a whole, from demand-side flexibility to the technologies shaping the future system.

• There is still plenty of work to do, but the innovation happening across the energy sector provides grounds for optimism.
