About this event
Join us in person for a panel discussion marking the launch of the new Energy Price Report, which explores solutions to high industrial energy costs and has been developed in partnership with Ecotricity.

Drawing on the findings of From Crisis to Stability: A Future Energy System for Manufacturers, the discussion will bring together experts from manufacturing, energy and policy to explore the challenges businesses are facing, where change is needed, and what a more stable long-term energy system could look like.
