People Power: imagining an energy system that works for everyone.

About the conference 

What would a fair energy system actually look like? Not just a cheaper one, or a greener one, but one that works for everyone, including the millions of people currently being pushed into hardship by their bills.   

Join us on 16th November in London, for a joint conference from Fair By Design and Joseph Rowntree Foundation. We are bringing together policy makers, industry, academics and people with lived experience of energy poverty together to ask the questions: ‘What does a fair energy market look like? And how do we get there?
