Listen Later

With electrification emerging as the prime route to the decarbonisation of transport, space heating and many industrial processes, the gazillion dollar question is, can the electricity grid deliver sufficient zero carbon electricity to make this happen? To get some answers, this week on the Net Zero Business Podcast, I caught up with Paul Glendinning, Energy Systems Director of Northern Powergrid (NPG) – we discuss the following:


  • The remarkable decarbonisation of the UK electricity grid to date
  • Paul's prediction that NPG will hit Net Zero by 2028
  • "What if the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow?"
  • How market reform is unlocking clean energy projects
  • Smart grids, AI and vehicle to grid (V2G) technology
