The energy transition is seeing a whole host of companies having to transform themselves. One of the best examples of this is the journey that some oil companies are embarking on. Repsol and more recently Shell have declared bold ambitions to be net-zero businesses. Should we think of them as oil and gas companies – or new energy companies? How will they make the transition to become net-zero businesses, and what are they doing about this today? We explored these questions with Jo Coleman OBE, Shell’s UK Energy Transition Manager, and Lindsay Sugden, Delta-EE’s Head of Heat. For more information on our research, visit www.delta-ee.com.

In this episode, we revisit home energy management from a different angle.
