    The future grid: intelligent or insufficient? | Sam Mathew, Microsoft

    On this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam Sroka speaks with Sam Mathew, Director and Industry Lead for Energy & Utilities at Microsoft, about how AI, digital technologies and data are informing the next generation of the energy sector. Drawing on experience spanning offshore oil and gas, consulting and technology, Sam shares why the energy industry's biggest challenges are no longer technical, but organisational. Success will depend on modernising critical infrastructure, attracting the next generation of talent and embedding intelligent digital systems across the energy sector. The conversation explores the energy trilemma, AI-driven electricity demand, digital substations, grid modernisation and the importance of embedding intelligence across the energy system. Sam also discusses why the future grid must become more adaptive, why technology should empower people rather than replace them, and how learning from other industries and countries can help accelerate progress. Adam and Sam discuss: Why the energy sector must embrace AI and digital transformationThe challenge of modernising the electricity gridDigital substations and intelligent infrastructureWhy people and culture matter more than technologyAI, data centres and the future of energy demand

    Building a data-driven energy sector | Nic Granger OBE, The Data Lab

    On this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam Sroka speaks with Nic Granger OBE, Chair of The Data Lab and former Chief Information and Financial Officer at the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), about how data and digital technologies are reshaping the future of offshore energy. Nic shares how the NSTA is putting data at the centre of regulation and stewardship, from building the National Data Repository to supporting collaboration across oil and gas, carbon storage and hydrogen. The conversation explores why successful digital transformation starts with business problems rather than technology, how organisations can build stronger data foundations, and why leadership, skills and collaboration are essential to unlocking the value of AI. Adam and Nic also discuss the Offshore Energy Digital Strategy Group, the role of The Data Lab in developing Scotland’s data and AI ecosystem, and why the next generation of energy organisations will embed data and digital at the heart of business strategy rather than treating them as standalone technology initiatives. Adam and Nic discuss: Why data is central to the future of offshore energyLessons from building the National Data RepositoryWhat good digital transformation really looks likeAligning data and AI with business strategyDeveloping digital skills and collaboration across the energy sectorThe future of data-driven decision-making in energy

    Energy's innovation challenge: closing the deployment gap | Laura Sandys CBE, Ofgem & Innovate UK

    On this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam Sroka speaks with Laura Sandys CBE, Chair of the Ofgem & Innovate UK Networks Innovation Taskforce, about the structural and cultural barriers holding the energy sector back. Drawing on experience across business, politics and energy policy, Laura shares a candid perspective on why many of the industry’s biggest challenges are not technical, but organisational. The conversation explores issues such as fragmented decision-making, outdated business models, customer engagement and innovation adoption, highlighting why the sector must think differently if it is to deliver the energy transition successfully. The discussion explores whole-system thinking, digital transformation, energy-as-a-service, grid constraints and the importance of learning from sectors such as logistics, telecoms and financial services. Laura also explains why innovation should be judged by deployment rather than pilots, drawing on examples such as Sero Homes, which is helping create customer-focused, low-carbon energy solutions for social housing. Adam and Laura cover: Why the energy sector needs a stronger culture of customer serviceLearning from logistics, telecoms and other industriesWhy innovation should focus on deployment, not pilotsThe role of data, digitalisation and AI in energy transformationBuilding a more diverse, customer-focused and systems-oriented sector
