Energy Unplugged by Aurora EP.154 Aurora on the Importance of Energy Networks for Investment Decisions and System Operation
On this week’s Energy Unplugged episode, we deep dive in the importance of energy networks for investment decisions and the operation of the system to build Net Zero power systems. We’re happy to welcome our colleagues Alexandra Houston, Senior Associate and Ashutosh Padelkar, Research Associate in a conversation with our Managing Director for UK & Ireland, Dan Monzani.
Alexandra is a Senior Associate in our GB Advisory team, where she has led a variety of work related to networks including for battery developers, long duration storage, renewables and locational marginal pricing. Ashutosh leads our Renewables service for the GB market and is also responsible for our Subscription Analytics offerings for corporate PPAs in GB and analysis of proposed policy and regulatory changes.
Main topics include the following:
• How Aurora expects networks and congestion to evolve in GB and what does this evolution mean for investment cases
• The role of hydrogen and how it might interact with the various constrains of the network
• What kinds of analysis and tools Aurora offers on this topic
