Royal Lancaster, London, UK

Energy Users Strategic Summit, Wednesday 3 September 2025, 9:30-16:00
Energy Users Strategic Summit, Wednesday 3 September 2025, 9:30-16:00

The Energy Users Summit is where innovation meets collaboration - bringing together the nuclear sector and energy-intensive industries to explore bold new partnerships. As many sectors of the economy face the growing need for cleaner, more resilient energy solutions, this summit will tackle shared challenges, break down regulatory barriers, and unleash powerful investment opportunities. With a global mission to at least triple nuclear energy capacity, the nuclear industry is eager to learn, adapt, and grow alongside forward-thinking partners from every corner of the economy.

The key outcomes from Wednesday’s Energy User Strategic Summit will be reflected within the Symposium 50 programme. The nuclear sector is ready to meet the demand from heavy industry and other non-traditional uses to energize development and progress.
