Also joining is Delta-EE EVs expert, Abhishek Sampat. 

29. Collective self-consumption: localisation of the electricity system

As penetration of photovoltaics grows, so does interest in using the electricity generated locally. In France, there is growing interest and activity in this concept, known as collective self-consumption. Jon Slowe is joined this week by Victoria Tan from Enedis, the main French distribution system operator; Remi Bastien from Enogrid, which providees support and software for collective self-consumption; and Delta-EE expert Rita Desmyter.

28. Utility plays in public EV charging infrastructure

In this episode, host Jon Slowe explores the role that utilities are playing in public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. He is joined by Amadeus Regerbis, Head of Charging Infrastructure at utility EnBW, and Delta-EE expert Alexander Lewis-Jones.

27. The world of heating controls: what's hot?

Heating controls play a vital role in keeping our buildings comfortable. And as decarbonisation comes more and more into the spotlight, so does the focus on heat. Much of this focus is on the fuel for heating and the appliances used. But heating controls are a vital part of the ecosystem. And, like many parts of the energy sector, it’s a dynamic sector. We’re in the middle of a shift from analogue to digital, and heating controls will have to keep pace with a likely growth in electrically-driven heating. To explore what’s going on in the world of heating controls, host Jon Slowe is joined this week by Remi Volpe, Vice President of Residential Temperatur Control at Schneider Electric, Eamon Conway, Managing Director of Climote, and Delta-EE's Arthur Jouannic.

23. Home Energy Management: What is it and where’s it headed?

Home energy management is a buzz word across much of the European energy sector. Christian Feisst, CEO of GreenCom Networks, and Colin Calder, Founder and CEO of PassivSystems join Jon Slowe and Delta-EE expert Arthur Jouannic to explore what home energy management is and how it is emerging.

22. Smart Meters: who wants one?

Smart meters are a key building block for a smarter energy system. In part of Europe, industry 'push' has already rolled them out. In others there's more reliance on customer pull. In this episode we focus on the 'pull', exploring how the benefits of smart meters are being framed and communicated to customers. Rob Cheesewright, Director of Corporate Affairs at industry body Smart Energy GB, Chris Fleck, CTO at Onzo and Delta-EE expert David Trevithick join Jon Slowe to discuss experiences in the UK and Europe.
