    The Cost of Electrification – Technology vs Inaction

    Welcome to Episode 2 of GRID – The Cost of Electrification: Technology vs Inaction. In this episode, host Carwyn Jones explores the real price of powering up Wales. It's not just a question of overhead lines versus underground cables – it's about what we lose when the grid can’t keep pace with ambition. With insights from Stephen Rowlands of Green Gen Cymru, Abi Beck from RenewableUK Cymru, and Eryl Roberts of Jones Bros, we examine both the cost of building the infrastructure and the economic risks of delay. From stranded renewable projects to stalled investment, this episode asks: what’s the bigger cost – the technology, or inaction? In this episode host Carwyn Jones and guests Stephen Rowlands, head of construction and supply chain at Green Gen Cymru, Abi Beck, head of strategic communications - Cymru at RenewableUK Cymru and Eryl Roberts, Contracts Director at Jones Bros debate both sides of the equation and ask what the real trade-offs are – and can we afford to wait?
