THE ANNUAL, FLAGSHIP EVENT FROM THE INDUSTRY'S MOST TRUSTED BRAND,
UTILITY WEEK
Utility Week Forum 2026 will lead utilities through the next decade of risk.
As UK utilities navigate geopolitical risk, uncertainty and regulatory reform, Utility Week Forum brings together senior leaders from power, gas and water with regulators, policymakers and strategic partners to debate the future of utilities, challenge accountability, stress-test risk strategies and ensure long-term resilience for the sector.
After thousands of hours in conversation with the sector, Utility Week's editorial team has built an agenda that reflects the urgent priorities across UK utilities right now. Themes include investment, customers, innovation, capital delivery, regulation, policy and more.
Get insights from C-suite executives including Basil Scarsella, Chief Executive, UK Power Networks; Matt Parr, Chief Executive, Thames Tideway; Nicola Connelly, Chief Executive,
SP Energy Networks; Paul Hickey, Managing Director (RAPID), Ofwat; and many others.
Senior utilities professionals are meeting this November to shape the next decade of utilities, and written outputs will be shared with MPs and government to inform wider policy conversations.
UTILITY WEEK FORUM PROMISES BOARDROOM-LEVEL INSIGHT, CONTENTIOUS DEBATE AND TWO-WAY AUDIENCE CONVERSATION
For the first time, Forum will host 1-2-1 meetings and brand-new intimate roundtable discussions, creating new opportunities to build relationships with senior utility leaders, and putting strategic collaboration and connections at the heart of the event.
‘Utility Week Forum is where the Utility Week Membership really comes to life. Where Utility Week Members share what’s keeping them awake at night, and connect with the regulators, policymakers and stakeholders who can help solve their challenges. This year, there will be more high-stakes debate, more 1-2-1 problem-solving, and more real-time influence on policy than ever before.’
