In this episode of the Fully Charged Show podcast, host Robert Llewellyn sits down with Marc England, CEO of Ausgrid, to discuss the future of Australia’s electricity grid and its role in the clean energy transition.

Ausgrid is one of the largest electricity distributors in Australia, supplying power to millions across New South Wales. With Australia leading the world in rooftop solar adoption, Robert and Marc explore how the grid must adapt to handle increasing levels of distributed energy.

They dive into the challenges of balancing renewable energy supply, the potential of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and how smart infrastructure can make energy more affordable and reliable.

Marc shares insights on how Ausgrid is preparing for a future where consumers are not just energy users but also energy producers—helping stabilize the grid while cutting costs. They also touch on how the rise of EVs, battery storage, and smart demand management could revolutionize energy consumption.

If you're curious about the future of electricity and how the grid will evolve to support cleaner, cheaper power, then you'll enjoy this episode!
