Following the huge success of the inaugural event on April 15, Electrical Review is set to further expand The Briefing, its brand-new virtual event series.
The Briefing is designed to bring focused, practical discussion to the issues shaping the electrical sector. Unlike Electrical Review’s larger digital events, these sessions are bite-sized and highly focused, offering a quick snapshot of a specific issue facing the industry.
Each event in The Briefing series is aligned to an overarching theme and centred around a key question. While the first event focused on energy storage and how it can help build flexibility on the grid, the next edition will turn its attention to EV charging infrastructure and how the sector can deliver reliable, affordable, grid-ready charging.
Set to take place on May 20, 2026, the next session will examine the realities of delivering charging infrastructure at scale, with the discussion covering connections and capacity, uptime, depot and fleet electrification, interoperability, roaming and the role of smart charging in reducing reinforcement pressures.
The full agenda for the session is already available, with new speakers being added regularly. You can find out more about the next Briefing and register here.
Given the strong demand for concise, expert-led events that cut through high-level debate and focus on delivery, a total of four more Briefings are planned for 2026. The full line-up is as follows:
- May 20, 2026: Reliable, affordable, grid-ready charging
- June 17, 2026: Will planning and land reform actually speed delivery?
- September 23, 2026: After energisation, who owns the fault?
- November 18, 2026: How do you electrify depots without oversizing the connection?
Alongside The Briefing series, Electrical Review’s flagship event Powered On Live will also return on June 10, 2026. You can find the full agenda for this year’s event and all the speakers here.
Together, The Briefing and Powered On Live 2026 represent Electrical Review’s strongest line-up of events yet, helping professionals understand what the energy transition means in practice – and how the industry can deliver it.
