The Energy Transition Show with Chris Nelder

Will Russia finally get on board with the energy transition, or will it just white-knuckle its energy exports all the way down to zero?

Dr. Martin Green, the “father of solar cells,” recounts the evolution of modern solar PV cells, and we interview the CEOs of two CSP companies in Australia.

What will it take to make next-generation geothermal energy economically competitive and commercially available all over the world?

Numerous energy innovations in Australia help to integrate DERs, VPPs, microgrids, advanced solar and grid technologies, efficient buildings, and more.

How is the Australian government is working with the grid power sector to plan and execute its transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewables?

How is Great Britain developing a coordinated plan to evolve all of its energy networks toward complete decarbonization?

What makes for good, effective, and enduring green industrial policy?

Heat pumps are a low-cost way to decarbonize space heating. Dr. Richard Lowes explains how to design policies to encourage the adoption of heat pumps.

Tim Gould, Co-head of the World Energy Outlook at the International Energy Agency (IEA), discusses vital trends influencing the energy transition. He reveals that global fossil fuel demand is expected to peak within five years, reshaping markets and geopolitics. The conversation explores the surge in low-emission electricity sources, particularly wind and solar, projected to dominate power generation by 2030. Additionally, they delve into rising energy demands from data centers, evolving expectations for hydrogen, and the urgent investments required to meet climate targets.

In this second part of a miniseries on how the UK is evolving its energy system, we discuss innovations on the electricity grid.
