DESCRIPTION:Electricity is an essential to people&rsquo\;s well-being and 
 the lifeblood of a modern economy. The societal objectives around electric
 ity reflect the wider values of society\, and these values precondition th
 e way the electricity system is structured and governed\, both today and i
 n the future. The electricity system is changing rapidly\, but societal va
 lues are usually more enduring\, and will shape the ways in which the syst
 em develops. The challenge of the energy system of the future is use techn
 ology to meet the goal of decarbonisation\, without undermining the reason
 able expectations of society for an essential public service. This talk wi
 ll look at these societal objectives\, how they shape the electricity syst
 em of today and the risks and opportunities in the transition to a low car
 bon future.
