AFB Seminar: Recent Developments in the UK Power Market

AFB, in partnership with Rystad Energy, invites members to an in-person seminar that will provide attendees with a data‑driven view of the UK energy sector and the impact of recent conflicts and changing policy priorities.

We are grateful to AFB member bank, DNB Bank, for hosting this event.

Why attend?

Rystad Energy will offer expert insights on:

Recent developments

• European demand recovery
• Growth in solar and wind: is the transition slowing down?
• Gas for power comeback: temporary or permanent?
• Short-term outlook and impact of Iran conflict

Current trends

• Power Purchase Agreement market update
• Recent trends in renewable energy auctions

Medium to long-term outlook

• Conventional comeback? Role of gas, nuclear and coal

Who should attend?

This session is intended for those who focus on business development within member firms. Given the broad nature of the topic, it is likely to be of interest to other roles and functions, including Risk, Finance, and Compliance.
