Episodes

DC Power: Rethinking energy Jun 17, 2026 00:24:33 In the latest episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou spoke with Jens Merten of CEA, coordinator of the EU-funded DC Power project, about how medium voltage DC grids could transform the way energy is distributed and consumed across industrial sites, data centres and future large-scale electrification projects. The project will demons
Digitalising Europe’s buildings and neighbourhoods with BuildON and OpenLab Jun 9, 2026 00:30:39 In the latest episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Alicia Kalms of OpenLab and Sofía Mulero of BuildON discuss how their EU-funded projects are using digitalisation, innovation and community engagement to create more sustainable and energy-efficient living environments. While both projects share the goal of supporting Europe’s clean energy transit
E-NERGY Cluster returns to the EU Energy Projects Podcast ahead of EUSEW 2026 Jun 3, 2026 00:40:16 For this special episode, Helena Gerard (EU-DREAM) steps in as guest host, joining Kostas Tsatsakis (DIGITISE) and Simone Nicolussi (CELINE) for a discussion on how digital tools, data platforms and consumer-focused services can help transform passive consumers into active participants in the energy transition. The discussion highlights common themes em
How TALOS is revolutionising PV management with robotics May 27, 2026 00:24:28 In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, EDP’s Daniel Albuquerque introduces the TALOS project.A major challenge with the use of solar PV is keeping the panels in operating condition and clean and well maintained so that the output is maximised, particularly in remote areas, which can be challenging to access and where also conditions tend to
Metawave pioneers microwave-based heating for industry May 20, 2026 00:20:07 In this episode, Jonathan Spencer Jones is joined by Paolo Veronesi, professor of metallurgy at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia to break down the Metawave project. A significant challenge in the drive for net zero is the decarbonisation of energy intensive industries such as ceramics, glass or concrete. The further challenge is that the diversity
F6S Cluster: Intelligent buildings, flexibility and the future of Europe’s energy system May 13, 2026 00:32:45 In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou was joined by Duncan Gibb and Mojtaba Kamarlouei from the F6S cluster to discuss intelligent grid-forming buildings, interoperability, flexibility markets and the increasingly important role data is playing in Europe’s energy transition. At the center of the discussion was the WeForming
INESC ID Cluster: From pilots to practical energy solutions May 6, 2026 00:33:49 In the latest episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou is joined by Hugo Morais from the INESC ID cluster, representing three EU-funded projects: SHIFT2DC, U2Demo and EV4EU.  While the projects focus on different parts of the energy system, they share a common ambition: to support electrification, increase flexibility and make energy
Smart Energy Cluster: Why collaboration still matters in EU projects Apr 29, 2026 00:10:05 In the latest episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou had a discussion with Vasilis Kotrogiannis, representing the Smart Energy Cluster, about why clusters like this may be more valuable than they first appear. The Smart Energy Cluster already brings together 39 ongoing projects and its mission is simple: help EU-funded initiatives c
Bridging the gap in energy storage with project SINNOGENES Apr 22, 2026 00:15:05 In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Angelina Broukou of the Horizon Europe-funded SINNOGENES project, offers a timely reminder that while storage technologies themselves are not new, the way we deploy and integrate them is where the real challenge, and opportunity, lies. “Storage is what makes renewables reliable and usable at scale,” Ang
Turning buildings into prosumers through thermal storage and smart energy solutions Apr 14, 2026 00:38:51 In the latest episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, the spotlight turns to one of the most critical—and often overlooked—pillars of Europe’s clean energy transition: buildings. Recorded in the context of Enlit Europe 2025 in Bilbao, this episode follows the session “Flexible Solutions Empowering Citizens” and explores how thermal energy storage and
Decarbonising energy intensive industries Apr 8, 2026 00:21:12 Katrin Stökle, project manager at Steinbeis Europa Sentrum, discusses how the Steinbeis project cluster is approaching the decarbonisation of energy intensive industries. Five diverse projects – of which four are active and one completed – comprise the Steinbeis energy cluster, with the common goal of decarbonising and advancing the energy transition of
AI sovereignty and the energy transition: A conversation with EDDIE Apr 1, 2026 00:25:42 Areti Ntaradimou joined by Laurent Schmit from Project EDDIE, an EU-driven initiative transforming how energy data is accessed and shared across Europe. By building a decentralized, open-source Data Space aligned with EU Clean Energy Package rules, EDDIE supports interoperability, strengthens Europe’s energy resilience, and reinforces the EU’s geopoliti
