Ofgem AI Reg Lab call for submissions

Following the success of our AI regulatory laboratory (AI ‘Reg Lab’) in October 2025 and February 2026, we are now inviting submissions from licensees for the next AI Reg Lab taking place on Wednesday 24 June 2026. 

Our AI Reg Lab is a table-top exercise that provides applicants with: 

• a valuable opportunity to test our current ethical AI use in the energy sector guidance and broader energy regulatory framework against their hypothetical or real AI uses
• the chance to explore the potential risks and impacts of their AI use
• a guided discussion of the regulatory implications of the AI use with an independent panel of AI and regulatory experts 

Who should take part

• Energy sector licensees
• Energy sector licensees may apply together with their innovation partners

How to take part

We welcome submissions on a rolling basis for future AI Reg Labs via our Ofgem AI Reg Lab submission form.  
 
To be considered for participation in the June 2026 AI Reg Lab, submissions must be received by 11.59pm on Friday 29 May 2026. 

Next steps

• Successful applicants will be contacted by the Emerging Technologies team.
• To support transparency and shared learning, we will publish findings from each AI Reg Lab engagement.

It is important to note that acceptance into the AI Reg Lab does not constitute regulatory approval, nor does it imply Ofgem’s endorsement of any AI use. 

For more information or support with your AI Reg Lab submission, please contact the Emerging Technologies team by emailing emergingtechnologies@ofgem.gov.uk.
