Day 3 of the Brazen Summit looks at the West of England's energy future. A Switched On panel asks what Bristol has delivered as a green city and what the regional spatial plan must get right for clean power by 2046, with Andrew Garrad CBE, Janine Michael, Prof Phil Taylor, Ann Cousins and Hannah Spungin. A second panel covers community-owned energy: battery storage, flexibility, data and AI forecasting, with speakers from the South West Net Zero Hub, WECA, Retrofit West and National Grid. Satish Kumar closes with an on-stage interview. 09:30 to 12:30 at St Nicholas Church. Paid; no face price published.
