As part of our Strategic Energy Partnership with Coventry City Council, we hosted a roundtable discussion of industry, city and academic leaders at this summer’s Coventry MotoFest event, exploring how cities can prepare for the future of energy and develop transport methods to cope and to thrive. The discussion explored how cities need to adapt to the climate crisis and included the policies needed to drive change across cities, the opportunities for new technologies and how to inspire people to make their own changes at home or at work. Panellists included Councillor Jim O’Boyle from Coventry City Council , Amanda Kangai from E.ON Next Veloce Racing, Kevin Vincent from Coventry University . James Noble at Coventry MotoFest Ltd and our own Chris Lovatt, COO of Energy Infrastructure Solutions 📜 Regulatory and policy changes needed locally and nationally to support electrification in cities and the automotive/transport industry in their transition. 🚗What transport methods in the city of the future might look like. 👩🏿🎓The increasing demand for skills and green engineering jobs, and how schools, universities and employers can work together to enthuse the next generation and ensure education and training opportunities are available to all . 🧗🏿♂️Obstacles faced by innovators, entrepreneurs and start-ups and how they can be overcome. 👪Getting people to adapt or even provoke change.

The rollout of heat pumps is gathering pace across the UK 💪 Over first half of the year, over 30,000 heat pumps were installed across the UK – taking the total to a ¼ of a million across the UK. Heat pumps offer a sustainable future for home heating that can also help customers to reduce their energy bills. We continue to work with the Government to ensure there is support and incentives in place to help the UK continue to install heat pumps to homes. Head to the comments to find out more. #HeatPumps #Sustainability #Innovation #Decarbonisation https://lnkd.in/eyQB4mdY

When virtual meets reality… how we’re using VR to deliver green training to our workforce! At our net zero training academy in Kingswinford, innovation is at the heart of our mission to prepare for a sustainable future. Partnering with Focus XR , we're immersing our engineers in virtual reality (VR) headsets to master green skills— everything from heat pump installations to smart metering. So, rather than sending our engineers out to practice in customer homes, we're bringing the homes to them—virtually, of course! By simulating customer homes in VR, we're enabling our engineers to practice, perfect, and gain confidence in a risk-free setting. This means fewer disruptions for customers and more prepared engineers in the field. We're not just teaching green skills; we're pioneering the future of green training.

A productive visit from our CEO Chris Norbury at No. 10 yesterday. ➡️Fairer and more affordable pricing ➡️Social tariff ➡️Support for customers who need it most ➡️Innovative ideas like subscription-based pricing models These were some of the points he discussed, along with thanking colleagues across E.ON UK, E.ON Next and npower Business Solutions for their existing work supporting customers and communities across Britain.
CEO E.ON U.K; Board Member; Business Transformation; Digital Transformation; Turnaround; Culture Change; Energy
It was a real privilege to be at No.10 today, discussing how we can keep working together to make sure the benefits of an accelerated energy transition reach every corner of the country. We’re fully committed to ensuring that as we all push forward towards higher growth and a more sustainable future everyone sees and feels the benefits. I'm especially proud to have shared examples of the fantastic work our colleagues are doing every day in E.ON UK, E.ON Next and npower Business Solutions to support customers and communities across Britain. This of course included talking to our experience from last winter - when we provided support that amounted to more than £150m including reducing some customers’ bills by 50% over the winter period and writing off existing debts to help create a better footing going forward - and the crucial efforts we must all keep making to ensure those who need help the most receive the most support. That's why we're continuing to call for the introduction of a social tariff, which would make energy more affordable in a practical and targeted way. We're also really excited about sharing more details of the innovative ideas we’re bringing to customers right now to make new energy work like subscription-based energy models, propositions which provide greater transparency, control and shared financial benefits for customers and market-wide structures like rising block tariffs, which could potentially, when combined with flexible market elements, offer a new way of creating the necessary balance of fairness and incentivisation. Together, we can ensure that this transition is fair and benefits everyone. #ItsOnUs #MakingNewEnergyWork

A sweet leap to zero emissions 🌍 E.ON’s Sugar Valley project in Munich exemplifies our commitment to innovative, sustainable energy solutions. Once complete, it will be Munich’s largest project of its kind, providing 6,300 kW of heat and 8,000 kW of cooling through cutting-edge geothermal flooring, heat pumps, and thermal piles. While Sugar Valley highlights our dedication to advanced energy solutions, our ectogrid™ technology showcases our forward-thinking approach. Developed in Sweden, ectogrid™ powers projects across Europe, including Werksviertel, Transurban.NRW, and Milan Innovation District (MIND), setting new standards for urban energy efficiency. Back home, Elephant Park’s CHP plant in London delivers low-carbon heating and hot water, while Silvertown will debut the UK’s first ectogrid™ system, featuring the largest ambient heating and cooling network in the country. We’re pushing the boundaries of sustainability and innovation to create greener, more efficient urban spaces. 🌱 Read more: 🔗https://lnkd.in/eadHNUje #Sustainability #Innovation #EnergyEfficiency SALVIS
