Emily Judson

About me:

Emily joined the University of Exeter in September 2018 as an EPSRC funded PhD student. Her research aims to identify priority areas where digital energy governance could be improved to facilitate energy system decarbonisation, while also supporting a socio-economically just transition to Net Zero.

Principle research interests:

• Governance of energy data and digital technologies to support Net Zero
• Energy and digital governance institutions
• Digitalisation in the just transition
• The digital energy commercial landscape and changing business models
• The relationship between energy democracy and digital energy technologies
