    Can Miliband Clean Up UK Energy AND Lower Bills, Or Is Net Zero Over? | Fully Charged Show Podcast

    In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Ed Miliband, the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Miliband is on a mission to transform Britain into a clean energy superpower by 2030, aiming to cut bills, create jobs, and enhance energy security through zero-carbon electricity - despite being dubbed a "net zero zealot" by some newspapers.... They delve into the ambitious target of 95% clean energy by 2030 and explore the huge challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Ed discusses the government's current actions, the politicisation of climate action, and how they plan to bridge the gap between long-term goals and immediate benefits for households. When will those bills really start to come down?!  @EverythingElectricShow   @fullychargedshow  This episode is sponsored by Duracell Energy!

    Why Oil & Gas Might Hold the Key to Geothermal Energy...| Fully Charged Show Podcast

    Could we power the entire world with clean energy, 24/7, just by tapping into the heat beneath our feet? According to Jamie Beard, founder of Project InnerSpace, the answer is a resounding yes! She believes we could produce 70-75% of global electricity and 100% of its heat using geothermal energy – without burning a single fossil fuel.   While less than 1% of the world's energy currently comes from this incredible source, Jamie reveals we're on the cusp of a "geothermal renaissance." Even more surprisingly, this renewable powerhouse has an 80-90% skill set overlap with the oil and gas industry, making it uniquely positioned to scale rapidly with existing talent and tools.   In this episode of the Everything Electric Show, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jamie to unlock the immense potential of next-generation geothermal. From her legal background to working on oil rigs, Jamie's journey highlights how oil and gas expertise – and even fracking technology – could be the key to bringing clean, reliable geothermal energy to homes and industries worldwide.   This episode is sponsored by Duracell Energy!

    The Battery Boom: Why Grid Storage Is the Backbone of Clean Power! | The Fully Charged Show Podcast

    Battery storage is booming — but how does it really work, and why does it matter? In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Ed Porter from ⁨@modoenergy⁩ one of the UK's leading experts on battery energy storage systems (BESS), to demystify the critical role batteries are already playing in balancing the grid — and what’s still to come. From frequency regulation and price arbitrage to blackouts and the path to clean power by 2030, we explore how grid-scale batteries are transforming our energy system faster than you think. Ed shares his insights on: Why batteries are replacing gas in grid services — and slashing costs. What dynamic frequency response actually means How the UK went from 0 to 5.3 GW of battery storage — and where we go from here Why the “1.5-hour” battery duration isn't a limitation, but a smart design choice How we plan to survive “Dunkelflaute” and keep the lights on in winter.
