Are Energy Retailers Fit for Purpose? with Carl Haigney (Capgemini) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The energy transition is redefining what it means to be an energy retailer. For decades, these companies played a relatively straightforward role: buying electricity from the wholesale market and selling it to consumers. But that model is being turned on its head. As households increasingly adopt electric vehicles, heat pumps, rooftop solar and home batteries, consumers are becoming active participants in the energy system. In a cleaner, more decentralised world, retailers may need to do far mor
How Heatwaves Stress the Electricity Grid, with Ben Watts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Europe has experienced more heatwaves this summer than in any previous year, and the energy system is struggling to cope. As the effects of climate change become more dramatic and damaging each year, our energy infrastructure will come under increasing strain as well.

This week we are joined by Ben Watts, data analyst and founder of Ki
Can We Connect the World’s Electricity Grids? with Simon Ludlam (Etchea Energy) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the energy system becomes more weather-dependent, matching supply with demand becomes a more of a geographic challenge.

In this episode, Simon Ludlam, founder of Etchea Energy, joins host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett to discuss the role of interconnectors in the energy transition. Simon is a veteran of the interco
How China's Electricity Sector Really Works, with Prof Michael Pollitt (Cambridge) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
China is already central to the global clean energy story. It dominates renewable technology manufacturing, leads the world on EVs and batteries, and is often described as the emerging “electrostate”. But we tend to hear much less about China’s own electricity system. So how does it work? Why has electricity been so important to China’s economic growth? And what can the UK and Europe learn from the way China is reforming its power markets? This week, Professor Michael Pollitt from Cambridge Univ
