For many households in the UK, the effects of the energy transition doesn’t yet feel fair, affordable, or accessible. As the UK moves towards a smarter, cleaner power system, big questions remain about who benefits, who pays, and how to ensure consumers are supported rather than left behind. The success of the transition will depend not just on technology and investment, but on designing a system that works for real people as well as for industry.

In this episode of Transmission, Dhara Vyas, CEO of EnergyUK explores what it truly means to build a people-centred energy system. Over the conversation, Dhara unpacks how policy, pricing, and consumer engagement must evolve to ensure households can participate in, and benefit from, the shift to net zero.

The discussion brings clarity to one of the transition’s biggest challenges: making the energy system work for everyone.

Key topics covered:

• Why fairness and affordability must be central to the energy transition - not an afterthought.

• How households can meaningfully participate in a smarter, low-carbon system.

• The policies and market reforms needed to protect consumers while enabling industrial investment.

• Why better communication, engagement, and trust are essential for system change.

• How to build an energy system that supports both households and industry as the UK moves toward net zero.
