In this episode, Sam Hollister speaks to Matt Hirst, CEO of ESG Global, about the software and systems underpinning the energy transition. As energy becomes more decentralised, digitised and consumer-led, energy companies are dealing with far more data, assets and complex customer propositions, while many of the systems behind the scenes were built for a much simpler energy market.    Subscribe to LCP Delta email communications   Select your areas of interest, and we'll alert you whenever new content is published.

In this episode, Katharine Blacklaws speaks to experts from Leeds City Council, the University of Leeds and Star Refrigeration about the GeoGrid innovation project. Together, they explore how geothermal heat storage could transform heat networks by storing low-cost, low-carbon heat underground for months at a time. They discuss how seasonal heat storage could reduce electricity demand at peak times, lower operating costs, improve energy security and help scale heat networks as the UK electrifies heat.    Subscribe to LCP Delta email communications   Select your areas of interest, and we'll alert you whenever new content is published.

In this episode, Sam Hollister speaks to Sam Peacock, Managing Director of Corporate Affairs at SSE plc, about why the UK needs to rethink how we measure the cost of energy. Rather than looking at electricity, gas and petrol separately, Sam argues that the transition to electrification means we should consider the total cost of energy across all three.   Subscribe to LCP Delta email communications   Select your areas of interest, and we'll alert you whenever new content is published.
