As the energy system becomes more weather-dependent, matching supply with demand becomes a more of a geographic challenge. Wind, solar and hydro are spread across different geographies, weather systems and time zones. A cleaner, cheaper and more resilient power system will therefore need to be more connected.
In this episode, Simon Ludlam, founder of Etchea Energy, joins host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett to discuss the role of interconnectors in the energy transition. Simon is a veteran of the interconnector industry, with experience developing major projects linking Britain, Ireland and continental Europe.
They cover how interconnectors work, what it takes to build them, and why international trust matters when countries share critical energy infrastructure.
They also discuss UK-EU energy cooperation after Brexit, interconnection in Europe and Asia, and whether a transatlantic electricity cable could one day connect Europe and North America.
