Talking New Energy

17. How Brussels is pointing the direction for the European energy transition

What goes on in Brussels matters hugely for the transition to new energy in Europe. The Clean Energy Package sets out the frameworks and rules within which national legislation is set. Often the devil is in the detail of these frameworks and rules. In this episode, Delta-ee director and host Jon Slowe talks with Executive Director of smartEn Frauke Theis and Secretary General at the European Heating Industry Federica Sabbati, two people deeply involved in shaping what comes out of Brussels.

16. What does the future hold for distribution network companies?

In the ‘old energy’ world, distribution networks managed the downwards flow of electricity and gas from the transmission system to customers. As the transition from ‘old’ to ‘new’ energy gathers pace, the role of distribution networks is changing. In this episode, we are joined by Pallas Agterberg, Director at Alliander and Dave Openshaw, Director at Millhouse Power, to discuss how they are changing, and where they are headed.

15. Responding to disruption: how energy companies can avoid the fate of Kodak

In this episode we explore how energy sector incumbents are responding to the transition – and associated disruption – from ‘old’ to ‘new’ energy. Host and Delta-EE Director Jon Slowe is joined by consultant Eric Morel, who has been working with energy companies across Europe to help them manage how they are responding to the energy transition.
Jon and Eric discuss and exchange views on the challenges energy companies face and the different ways they’re responding.

There will be no podcast w/c 15th July as we're on holiday! Join us again later in the month for the end of series 2.

12. Transforming homes with super-insulation and high-efficiency heating

Host Jon Slowe is joined by Delta-EE heat expert Lindsay Sugden, Joris Jonker, Founder/CEO of The FCTR E and Kristofer Fichtner, Co-Founder of Ecoworks. This week they discuss transforming homes with super-insulation and high-efficiency heating.

11. Everybody needs a platform: a building block for new energy

Platforms are a hot topic across the European energy sector. In a highly distributed world, they can bring together thousands, even millions of assets, capturing value from data or running a virtual power plant. In this episode, we hear from two of Europe's leading residential energy platforms. Talking New Energy host and Delta-EE Director Jon Slowe speaks to Charmaine Coutinho, Head of Consulting at Delta-EE, Sandra Trittin, Co-Founder and Head of Business Development and Marketing at tiko, and Conor Maher-McWilliams, Head of Flexibility at Kaluza.

10. Selling heating systems online

Buying a new heating system has traditionally meant getting quotes from installers. Now, new entrants and incumbents alike are using web-based platforms to provide customers with a slicker way to buy a heating system. In this episode, we speak with Philip Pausder, CEO of Thermondo, who is pioneering this approach. Roxanne Pieterse, heat analyst at Delta-EE, also joins Jon Slowe, Delta-ee Director and Talking New Energy host.

9. Highlights from our New Energy Summit

In this episode we’re bringing you some highlights from the Delta-ee ‘New Energy Summit’ held in Amsterdam at the end of May.

8. Time-of-Use Optimisation - changing electricity tariffs

In most markets, residential customers are used to paying a fixed rate for electricity, regardless of when they use it. Now, this is changing. Simon Schmitz, Founder and CEO, aWATTar, and Charlotte Blou Sand, Founder and CEO, True Energy, join Jon Slowe to discuss Time-of-Use electricity tariffs.
