120. What’s the impact of the energy crisis on heating appliance markets?

In this episode, we discuss the impact of the energy crisis in the heating markets. Are rising gas prices causing big changes in how people are buying appliances, and what sort of heat appliances are they buying? Are people avoiding buying new heating appliances to save money? To explore these questions, Jon Slowe is joined by Delta-EE's Head of Heat, Steven Ashurst.

119. How do we get more out of the grid?

In this episode we’re looking at electricity networks, and the increasing stresses and strains that they’re going to be under as more renewable generation is connected, and heat and transport is increasingly electrified.

116. The Curtailment of Wind Generation

In this episode we’re looking at a controversial and complex topic –the curtailment of wind generation. Wind curtailment is when the output of wind plants is reduced to below its maximum generation capacity. This has been happening for many years, but with net zero targets and dynamic changing energy systems, it’s increasingly getting attention. As usual host Jon Slowe is taking a well-earned holiday, Charmaine Coutinho is talking with two Delta-EE colleagues - Jon Ferris, Head of Flexibility and Storage, and Chris Matson, Partner at LCP Energy.

Now, that is starting to change - with the energy crisis accelerating this. In this episode, Jon talks with Delta-EE experts Arthur Jouannic and Zuoxiang Zhang about HEM, the energy crisis, and why we're at the beginning of a hockey-stick shaped curve in market growth of HEM.
