Talking New Energy

33. Electrifying heat in the Netherlands – the role of data and services

The Netherlands is one of the front runners in electrifying heat in Europe. In this episode, host Jon Slowe explores how service-based business models, underpinned by data analytics, are enabling two companies to develop innovative propositions that help to overcome some of the challenges associated with electrifying heat. Jon is joined by Elbert Stoffer, Innovation Manager at product manufacturer Itho Daalderop, Gijs Diependaal, Technology & Innovation Manager at Eneco, and Delta-EE expert Cate Lyon.

32. Platforms, flexibility and electricity networks

Jon Slowe, Delta-EE Director and host, is joined by Hallstein Hagen, Senior Consultant from NODES, Marko Kruithof, Programme Manager at GOPACS, and Philippa Hardy, Delta-EE Flexibility expert. They discuss platforms, flexibility and congestion in electricity networks, and the role demand side flexibility, PV and electrification will play in this.

31. In conversation with Mario Moura, Resideo

This week on the podcast, Jon Slowe is joined by Mario Moura, Managing Director - EMEA at Resideo (formerly Honeywell Home). They discuss the business of home technology.

30. Electric Vehicles - leasing, subscriptions, bundling and accessibility

In this episode we bring three themes together: electrification of transport; move from product ownership to services, or 'as a Service'; and the coming together of two established industries, energy and transport. These three themes come together in electric car subscription businesses. Host Jon Slowe is joined by Phillipp Maul from Juicar in Switzerland, and Rob Jolly from EVezy in the UK, both of whom are at the forefront of this emerging area. 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.

26. Financing EV Charging Infrastructure

Host Jon Slowe is joined by John Murray, Delta-EE EV expert, Mark Henderson, Chief Investment Officer at Gridserve, and Stirling Habbitts, Sector Lead Project Finance London at Triodos Bank. This week they discuss the financing of the EV charging infrastructure.

25. European Utility Week: Our key takeaways

Following European Utility Week in Paris, Jon Slowe is joined by Arthur Jouannic and John Murray of Delta-EE, who also attended. They discuss their key takeaways from the event: who was there, who wasn't there, and what the hot topics of new energy are.

24. In conversation with Peter Bance

Peter Bance, Founder and CEO of Origami Energy, joins Jon Slowe to discuss his experiences in technology-centred venture capital in the energy sector. Jon and Peter explore the opportunities and challenges in founding companies, raising capital, and driving growth.
