Operational Energy Authority Industry Engagement 

INSIGHT FUNCTION

0930 -1500hrs 16 October 2024

General

The Defence Operational Energy Strategy sets out the Ministry of Defence’s response to the energy transition – how we intend to safeguard and maximise operational advantage by making the right decisions at the right times.

Implementation consists of 3 Response Phases:

  1. (2023-2025) – Laying the Foundations;
  2. (2026-2029) – Making Bold and Informed Energy Choices; and
  3. (2030 onwards) – Advantage.

A Priority Actions in phase 1 is the development and distribution of meaningful energy insights to key strategic and capability decision-makers that will enable the right, bold, and informed decisions from this point forward.

Internal MoD work to design an Energy Insights Function over the past several months has now reached the stage at which it is felt that exposing the thinking to Industry would be mutually beneficial. 

Aim & Objective 

The aim of this event is therefore to inform selected Industry partners/potential partners of the work to date and seek their advice on the concept and further development, including in particular where Industry may be able to assist and advice on potential associated costs to inform future funding bids. 

Objectives are:

  • To build awareness of the Energy Insights work and its broader context amongst partners/potential partners in the relevant sectors of Defence Industry;
  • To review and seek Industry’s feedback on the work to date;
  • To identify where Industrial partners/potential partners may have or be able to develop relevant required capabilities; and
  • obtain Industry feedback/advice on likely associated costs (to inform future funding bids). 

Who Should Attend

In addiction to OEMs developing capabilities that will exploit a range of energy vectors we are looking for cross sector expertise in energy transition, generation, storage distribution and management as well as those with digital capabilities that could inform the insight function. There will be limited places and there for restricted to one person power organisation.
