The energy transition and the digital revolution are often treated as separate stories. But what if they are increasingly driving each other?
In this episode, our host Sulaiman is joined by Kingsmill Bond from Ember, the global energy think tank tracking the shift to clean electricity. to discuss its latest report: The Age of Power. It argues that the energy and information revolutions are becoming increasingly intertwined: many of the same technologies underpin both, and advances in each are helping the other move faster and become cheaper. The implications extend well beyond the energy system — reshaping industry, economic competitiveness and the balance of geopolitical power.
Together, they discuss why energy security is strengthening the case for electrification, and whether concerns about dependence on Chinese clean technology overlook the risks of relying on imported fossil fuels. They also explore how emerging economies are leapfrogging older energy systems, the role of AI and data centres in reshaping electricity markets, and what governments need to change to remove barriers to deployment and bring down electricity prices.
