S4E01: Accelerating the energy transition: why systems thinking changes everything
Manage episode 464145656 series 2494449
"We’ve got to think about this all together as a whole-systems holistic solution, whether it’s a single rural community or whether that’s at an industrial cluster level. It’s the same—the whole nation is a system in itself. So, we’ve got to have that whole-systems approach from the top down, whether that’s transmission networks right the way down to [...] the final mile on the grid."
– Kate Gilmartin, British Hydropower Association
For too long, we’ve tackled energy challenges in isolation—treating renewables, grid capacity and infrastructure as separate pieces of the puzzle. But real progress demands a systems approach—one that connects people, politics, places and portfolios.
In this first episode of Talking Infrastructure’s Season 4, our host Toby Sadler is joined by Kate Gilmartin (CEO, British Hydropower Association), Dan Nicholls (Chief Product Officer, SNRG) and Sarah Falconer (Energy Planning, Consenting and Development Lead, AECOM) to discuss why systems thinking is key to delivering a successful transition to clean energy.
They cover topics such as:
- How local energy solutions like microgrids could shift power back into the hands of communities
- The role of hydropower in providing reliable power, flexibility and storage—and the barriers to scaling it up in the UK
- What’s needed to better align policy, planning and investment to accelerate clean energy projects
- How systems thinking can help tackle skills shortages and build a long-term workforce for the sector
