The UK and Scottish Governments have set ambitious targets for the roll-out of electric vehicles (EVs). With that comes a shift in demand away from petrol and diesel fuels and towards electricity, which has major impacts for the electricity system.

CESI funded a team led by Professor Karen Turner, Director of The University of Strathclyde's Centre for Energy Policy, to conduct research on how the costs of network upgrades will impact across the UK economy, set against the benefits of EV roll-out.  This has a particular focus on how GDP, activity in different industries and household incomes may be impacted.

This roundtable event provides an opportunity to bring together key policy stakeholders.  We will use the findings of our work as the basis for discussion to consider the implications for future research and policy design.

The event is part of the University of Strathclyde’s Engage with Strathclyde Programme, taking place 29th April - 3th May 2019.
