S4E01: Accelerating the energy transition: why systems thinking changes everything

“The biggest shift we need is moving from isolated projects to interconnected systems. For example, decarbonising a new housing development isn’t just about adding renewables; it’s about ensuring the grid, storage and energy demand are all managed as a cohesive system.” – Dan Nicholls, SNRG 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 Find out more over on: https://aecom.com/podcasts/talking-infrastructure-podcast/ ------------------- Welcome to season 3 of AECOM’s Talking Infrastructure podcast.

S3E07: Ukraine: Europe’s new green energy hub?

Despite the ongoing war and the destruction of nearly half its power infrastructure since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, Ukraine is determined to emerge stronger and greener. This episode delves into Ukraine's bold vision to become Europe’s new green energy hub. Remarkably, Ukraine constructed more onshore wind turbines in 2022 than England, showcasing its commitment to renewable energy even amidst conflict. The Tyligulska wind farm, for example – the first to be built in a conflict zone – is now generating enough clean energy to power around 200,000 homes just 60 miles from the frontline. Tune in to hear more about on the radical reshaping of Ukraine’s energy landscape and the lessons it can teach us. ------------ Welcome to season 3 of AECOM’s Talking Infrastructure podcast. Talking Infrastructure delves into the industry’s hot topics, key projects, and the ground-breaking innovations that are helping to solve some of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges. We'll be discussing everything from driving cost and time efficiencies within the rail industry to the importance of collaboration in bringing hydrogen projects forward. ---------------- About the host 👉 James Banks, Director of Marketing and Communications.

S3E04: The net zero divide

Welcome to season 3 of AECOM’s Talking Infrastructure podcast. Talking Infrastructure delves into the industry’s hot topics, key projects, and the ground-breaking innovations that are helping to solve some of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges. We'll be discussing everything from driving cost and time efficiencies within the rail industry to the importance of collaboration in bringing hydrogen projects forward. Episode 4: Closing the net zero divide: how do we ensure no community is left behind? For this episode, our host James Banks is joined by Emma Fletcher, Low Carbon Homes Director at Octopus Energy and Helena Rivers, AECOM’s net zero lead for the built environment to discuss the challenges and opportunities in achieving net zero. From the importance of retrofitting homes and buildings to enhance energy efficiency to the latest green technology improving heat networks, our speakers explore how we can reduce the carbon footprint of our built environment – and why a people-centric approach is key. Central to the conversation is how we can meet our climate goals whilst addressing the disparities and inequalities between communities to ensure that no one is left behind. As well as busting some common myths, our speakers tackle questions such as: • What does 'net zero' really mean and why is it vital for our future? • What role does technology play in making homes more energy-efficient and sustainable? • How can we effectively engage the public and bridge the knowledge gap? • How can global cooperation and policies accelerate the move towards net zero? Plus, Emma shares the creative ways that Octopus is reshaping public perceptions towards green energy – including a touring wind turbine named Gusty Springfield.
