Karen Dee, Wastewater Service Strategy General Manager, Scottish Water
Hear from Scottish Water and Northern Ireland Water as we explore how publicly owned utilities can strengthen responsibility and accountability for environmental spills while navigating the next phase of regulatory change. With a focus on preparing for SR27 in Scotland and PC28 in Northern Ireland, the discussion will examine how longer-term investment planning and regulatory cycles can drive better environmental outcomes, and what England and Wales can learn. Drawing on alternative approaches to spill-target models, speakers will consider how environmental improvement can be meaningfully measured and incentivised, and how closer collaboration with related sectors, particularly agriculture, can help deliver shared goals for water quality and environmental resilience
