Navigating the new economics of renewables
Navigating the new economics of renewables Oct 13, 2026 00:18:08 Renewable energy has never been more affordable to produce. However, for developers and investors, the economics of building new renewable capacity are becoming increasingly complex. More specifically, negative electricity prices, grid connection queues and rising financing costs are challenging project profitability, forcing the industry to rethink how
Is nuclear energy resilient enough to triple capacity?
Is nuclear energy resilient enough to triple capacity? Oct 6, 2026 00:25:11 Europe’s recent heatwaves and droughts put the nuclear power sector under pressure, with some reactors forced to curtail output as river flows fell and cooling water became more constrained. The events raised acute concerns about how extreme weather affects critical energy infrastructure and, more broadly, how well the existing nuclear fleet can withsta
Orchestrating the future of flexible demand in Europe
Orchestrating the future of flexible demand in Europe Sep 29, 2026 00:24:43 As Europe electrifies, demand-side flexibility will play an increasingly important role in balancing the electricity system. But how will flexibility markets develop and how can the different signals reaching consumers be coordinated?To find out, Pamela Largue speaks with Michael Villa, executive director of SmartEn, and Riley Behrens, associate consult
Why the Global Hydrogen Compass points to progress
Why the Global Hydrogen Compass points to progress Sep 22, 2026 00:24:55 The global hydrogen sector appears to be moving beyond ambitious plans and into the build phase, with projects progressing from announcements to final investment decisions, construction and operation.That’s according to Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of the Hydrogen Council, who spoke with Pamela Largue for this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast. Drawing
Rethinking power resilience after the Iberian blackout
Rethinking power resilience after the Iberian blackout Sep 15, 2026 00:17:30 On April 28, 2025, a large-scale power outage swept across Iberia, disrupting daily life within seconds and exposing the limits of current approaches to grid reliability. The event highlighted both the challenges of managing increasingly decentralised renewable assets and the shortcomings of traditional emergency protocols. According to Adrian Guggisber
How electrification is shaping the smart home ecosystem
How electrification is shaping the smart home ecosystem Sep 8, 2026 00:25:59 Imagine a home where EVs, solar panels, batteries and other energy technologies work seamlessly together to help households manage their energy, while playing an active role in balancing the grid.That vision is rapidly becoming a reality. As renewables and electrification gather pace, households are moving beyond simply consuming energy to generating, s
Unlocking the power of intelligent asset optimisation
Unlocking the power of intelligent asset optimisation Sep 1, 2026 00:21:01 As renewables expand and electricity markets become more complex, the ability to intelligently optimise energy assets across multiple markets and revenue streams is becoming increasingly important.In this episode of the Enlit Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Christian Seitl, senior battery and market strategy expert at CyberGrid, ab
Integration, resilience and competitiveness at the heart of Europe’s energy future
Integration, resilience and competitiveness at the heart of Europe’s energy future Aug 25, 2026 00:26:28 Integration, resilience and competitiveness - three words that capture where Europe’s energy transition stands today and the necessary elements for a secure energy future. Europe’s energy transition has moved beyond simply adding renewable capacity to integrating a complex energy system, building resilience in the face of uncertainty and keeping the Eur
Unlocking the power of AI and ocean energy systems
Unlocking the power of AI and ocean energy systems Aug 18, 2026 00:29:28 Could AI help wave energy operate more efficiently, while ocean energy provides clean, stable power for the growing AI economy?In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power, and Yufei Tang, associate professor at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), explore the possibilities of this symbiotic relation
Financing a bankable and just energy transition
Financing a bankable and just energy transition Aug 4, 2026 00:30:22 As governments, utilities and investors navigate geopolitical uncertainty and increasing pressure to decarbonise and electrify, one question continues to dominate the energy transition: where will the money come from?Sadly, many across the world continue to suffer energy poverty and billions of dollars remain on the sidelines despite enormous demand for
The policies powering Europe's renewables integration
The policies powering Europe's renewables integration Jul 28, 2026 00:28:05 As the European Commission advances key legislative proposals, such as Electrification Action Plan and the EU ETS review, the focus is shifting from setting renewable energy targets to delivering them. In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Vasiliki Klonari, Director of Energy System Integration at WindEurope, about
Why competitive industry needs cheap power and smart policy
Why competitive industry needs cheap power and smart policy Jul 21, 2026 00:28:56 Europe has already lost around half of its primary aluminium production in recent years, driven by soaring energy costs and intense international competition and yet the ambition to decarbonise industry has never been greater. To unpack the realities facing European industry, as well as the policies that are advancing or preventing deindustrialisation,
