We are pleased to announce the 3rd Seminar Series on Governance, Institutions, and Sustainability jointly hosted by the Centre for Political Economy and Institutional Studies and by the Birkbeck Responsible Business Centre, within the Birkbeck Business School.
In our rapidly evolving world, the intricate web connecting governance, institutions, and sustainability has become increasingly prominent. We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to enhance this very important debate and to join us in exploring the profound intertwining of these critical elements at our upcoming seminar series.
Abstract
This lecture will examine the economic regulation of utilities in the UK, focusing on the regulatory frameworks that will shape water and energy networks. It will explore recent trends in policy and market developments, highlighting how regulation will influence investment, pricing, and operational decisions. The session will also address key challenges facing the utilities sector, including adapting to changing demand, financing infrastructure, and ensuring efficient market functioning. Drawing on practical experience advising regulators, investors, and utility operators, the lecture will provide insights into how economic principles are applied in practice, helping attendees understand the evolving environment of UK utility regulation.
