In the latest episode of Hoppenbrouwers' podcast, our COO Jeroen Althusius joined the discussion to explore how Energy Management Systems are tackling one of the most pressing energy challenges: grid congestion. Together with Ward Luitjes from We enable climbers, they dive into real-world challenges, like how Ward’s company faced growth limitations due to grid congestion, and how implementing an EMS helped solve this issue. 🎙 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿: ↳ How EMS solutions can unlock growth by optimizing energy flows and reducing grid stress. ↳ A breakdown of how grid congestion impacts businesses and strategies to overcome it. ↳ Practical advice for companies aiming to scale without hitting energy roadblocks. If grid congestion is limiting your business potential, this podcast will offer you valuable insights on how to manage energy smarter and more efficiently. 📢 Tune in now and learn how Ward and Jeroen leveraged EMS to turn energy challenges into growth opportunities: https://lnkd.in/gzdAixxu #EnergyManagement #gridcongestion #EMS #Sustainability

We are launching a podcast! 🗣️ At GLOBSEC's Economy & Business Programme, we are piloting our series Achieving Competitiveness with quite the hot EU policy-making topic - European electricity grid. I sat down with Ján Mykhalchyk Hradický, the author of the GLOBSEC Grid Transition Index to talk about why the electricity grids are instrumental for the green transition and the European competitiveness. Even if you are not an expert, I bet you the podcast will be interesting and understandable. Ján explains what is the grid, why it is important and which countries are performing the best and the worst when it comes to the so called "grid transition". We hope the conversation will open another dimension of the European competitiveness to our listeners and that you will enjoy our little jokes. :)

Paul Wilczek, Head of Energy Policy, Climate and Sustainability at Eurelectric, joins Peter Warren to examine the intrinsic link between decarbonization and electrification, plus the resulting opportunities shaping the energy landscape. Join in as they discuss the need for grid investment and modernization, how transparent information helps bridge gaps between governments and public opinion, and much more. Listen to the first of two podcast episodes https://go.cgi.com/3yyItc6 #energytransition #utilities #decarbonization #electrification #sustainability

Latest Roadnight Taylor | Certified B Corp™ podcast clearly sets out the challenges in reforming the GB grid connections process. Clear that, even at this very late stage, key details are not locked down. This must mean a risk of: 1. Further delay; and/or 2. That the reformed process doesn't function properly. We'd encourage National Energy System Operator, Ofgem, and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to have a back-up plan in place, in case it becomes clear that this big bang Connections Reform can't be delivered. For us, a back-up plan would be a two-stage approach: - Stage 1: Implementing the land rights requirement for projects to pass Gate 2. Plus, a one-off right to accelerate a small number of key projects for the Government's Clean Power 2030 target. - Stage 2: Using the cut-down grid queue as a starting point for enduring reforms to implement Strategic Planning. This would allow Gov/Ofgem/NESO to refine/narrow the powers that they are seeking, striking a balance between strategic aims and investor certainty. https://lnkd.in/et_tUzQE

It is imperative that infrastructure catches up with demand in the alternative energy space. This is just one of many challenges facing fleet operators navigsting the switch to alternative fuels Discover more in the latest episode of our Mobilizing the Future of Fleets podcast

Our current infrastructure faces significant challenges in meeting the demands of high power, which poses considerable implications for the future of energy and transport. In our Mobilizing the Future of Fleets podcast, Professor Colin Herron discusses his involvement in a government-led project focused on planning national infrastructure through to 2050. By watching, viewers can gain insights into the critical issues with existing infrastructure and the ambitious plans to modernize it to meet high-power demands. and this podcast is essential for tech enthusiasts, policymakers, and those interested in sustainable development and energy solutions: https://lnkd.in/e9sRnANx #InfrastructureDevelopment #HighPowerDemands #SustainableEnergy #FuturePlanning #ProfessorColinHerron #GovernmentProjects #EnergySolutions #FutureOfTransport

Interested in a deeper dive into the history of what's going wrong in our electricity system at the moment? Here is a Consumer NZ podcast from last year, that covers many of the issues exploding in the last couple of days. In two parts we look at the Bradford Reforms 25 years on and ask, did they work? Featuring a who's who of energy experts including Max Bradford himself, Jenny Shipley and the irrepressible Paul Fuge. https://lnkd.in/grkd5R6G
