DESCRIPTION:*A panel discussion with leading experts\, as part of the Camb
 ridge Festival 2022*\n\nPanel:\n||*Dr David Reiner*\, Professor in Technol
 ogy Policy\, Cambridge Judge Business School||\n||*Claire Dykta*\, UK Head
  of Strategy\, National Grid UK||\n||*Dan Alchin*\, Deputy Director\, Reta
 il at Energy UK||\n||*James Doig*\, Head of Decarbonisation\, Ofgem||\n\nW
 ith dramatically rising wholesale energy prices since the autumn\, the str
 ain on suppliers has led to several dozen small energy firms going bankrup
 t. The UK Government’s energy ‘price cap’ temporarily postponed the 
 immediate impacts of those price rises on consumers but they are set to be
  passed through on 1 April. If the envisioned price increases do go ahead 
 they will be the single largest increase ever in household energy bills. \
 n\nWhat control mechanisms are available to soften the rise\, what options
  are available to the government (such as removal of green levies or indus
 try-wide loans) and what are the trade-offs involved? What should happen t
 o the price cap? What could some of the regulatory developments mean over 
 the short\, medium or long-term for the Treasury and to UK energy and clim
 ate policy more generally? Join the panel to explore some of these questio
 ns and to let you pose your own.\n\nRegistration is required at *https://w
