Energy network development - a balancing act? Suggest one of the biggest challenges in developing all energy/utility networks ( gas, electricity, water and heat) is balancing the requirements of; - customers / users of the network to receive a service at a reasonable cost and at the same time; - for the network operators to receive a reasonable return on investment to make the network finanancable/viable. Suggest really interesting to follow this debate now emerging in the nascent district heat network sector. #eng4climate Euroheat & Power Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications

This is an encouraging sign of what is to come. 👏 The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will expand in both scope and size bringing experts in data, digital and AI from the Government Digital Service (GDS), the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) and the Incubator for AI (i.AI) to unite efforts in the digital transformation of public services under one department. In addition to driving forward a modern digital government, the Secretary of State will lead DSIT to accelerate innovation, investment and productivity through world-class science and research across the economy, as well as ensure technologies are safely developed and deployed across the country, with the benefits more widely shared. 👏 The key message there is to develop and deploy technology more safely. 📣 If that doesn't happen then we will continue to hear about the consequences of IT failures. 😫 #qualityassurance #agiledelivery #testautomation #publicsectorinnovation

Are you involved in HbbTV application development? The HbbTV Association would like to get your input.   At Tequate Ltd - Training and Consultancy we work with a number of prominent manufacturers in the TV space, and we get involved in helping teams, both in Development and Strategy, who need to understand the processes and issues involved in HbbTV application development.   When we noticed a post from Matthew Huntington who was asking for contributions to the HbbTV Association alliance's developer portal, we reached out to offer support.   We're aware that no matter how knowledgeable our subject matter experts are - nobody knows everything, and for us, every delivery is a learning experience for us also; questions and insights provided by our attendees about their own use cases inform future deliveries   We also ensure we leave delegates with further tools and resources to continue the learning process, which doesn't end with our deployment of training or consultancy, but is an ongoing journey, as most technologies in play in the Broadcast and OTT ecosystem, are constantly evolving.   So in the spirit of shared knowledge, we're sharing here a link to the HbbTV developer forum below - your contributions will help other teams in the future, who will benefit from your technical contributions.   https://lnkd.in/dFPw56qf   HbbTV have put together a survey, for those in the developer community, to help steer the direction of the portals future development. If you would like to get involved, please sign up.   https://lnkd.in/duBudAvQ For us, the contributions in this forum, will join the arsenal of resources we use to pass on continuing knowledge. #knowledge #training #hbbtv #developers

Stephanie Cassee is spot on. This is exactly what our customers say, that they have found procurements to be far more successful when there is engagement with suppliers before starting the formal part of the procurement – that way they can better understand the sorts of features and innovations that are available on the market, and which of these can best help them. They can then specify these innovations when the formal part of the procurement is underway, resulting in a solution that better meets the needs of the authority. Councils looking to procure a new EMS, please have a quick look at this short article by my colleague.
