- A Panel Discussion You Can’t Miss: BNG for Water and Energy Utilities at Scale
We are excited to announce yet another standout session at AiDASH Evolve 2024, and this one is not to be missed. As water and energy utilities face increasing pressure to meet environmental sustainability goals, leading voices from the industry will gather to explore how Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Natural Capital are shaping the future of utility infrastructure.
This panel will convene on October 17 at New Orleans, bringing together key voices from leading water and energy utilities. But we can’t reveal everything just yet — let’s just say, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Haven’t registered yet? Secure your spot now!
A Powerhouse Panel on Biodiversity and Natural Capital
At the heart of this panel are three industry experts who are driving the future of water and energy utilities:
- Jack Lomas, Emerging Technology Lead, Capital Design and Delivery at Severn Trent
- Carolyn Cadman, Director of Natural Resources at South West Water
- Kathleen Fillier, Environment Analyst at Newfoundland Power
Together, they’ll explore the game-changing potential of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Natural Capital in balancing the needs of critical water infrastructure with the growing demand for sustainable environmental stewardship. Expect to hear how these leaders are embedding biodiversity into the DNA of their operations.
What Will the Session Cover
The session will dive deep into the challenges and opportunities of integrating biodiversity into utility operations, among other things. Here’s a glimpse of what will be covered:
- How utilities are managing the delicate balance between infrastructure development and ecosystem preservation.
- The innovative ways technology is being used to monitor and enhance natural capital.
- Real-world insights into improving water quality, reducing flood risk, and managing land sustainably.
The panelists will share experiences from Severn Trent, South West Water, and Newfoundland Power, offering practical examples of how their initiatives are driving long-term sustainability and delivering tangible benefits to both the environment and their communities.

Why This Session Is a Must-Attend
Water and energy utilities play a critical role in conserving natural capital while delivering essential services. This panel will show how Biodiversity Net Gain strategies can help utilities not only comply with regulations but also lead the charge in creating positive environmental outcomes. From partnerships with landowners to scalable technology solutions, this session will offer a fresh perspective on the future of sustainable utility operations.
But there’s so much more to this conversation, and we’ll be unveiling those insights at the event!
