Listen Later

Join Bryden Wood's co-founder Martin Wood, Technical Director Adrian La Porta, and Professor John Dyson as they discuss the critical state of the global energy grid. Triggered by recent power outages in Spain and Portugal, this episode uncovers the hidden complexities of integrating renewables, the intensifying demand from new technologies like AI, and the debate over centralised vs. distributed power. They explore the concept of ‘network value’ for energy sources, the challenges and opportunities of energy storage, and the political and commercial influences shaping our energy future. Discover why a more nuanced and collaborative approach is essential for a stable and decarbonised world.
