In The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton finds out how we’re all part of one of the most incredible revolutions in human history.

Helen’s starting by unravelling the jargon that surrounds the decarbonisation of energy and the path to net zero.
What does net zero mean?
Why is 2021 and COP26 so important in tackling climate change
How does our energy network run?
Who’s making sure we have power 24/7, 365 days a week?

We’ll go behind the scenes at the Electricity System Operator control room to find out how the weather, temperature and our behaviour are predicted and provided for by expert operators.

National Grid’s Duncan Burt and Sustainability First’s Sharon Darcy explain why it’s vital to make sure nobody gets left behind as our power switches to green, clean sources. They’re chatting to Helen about equality in energy and why communities and workers all have a vital role to play in the future of clean energy.

ESO Chief Engineer Julian Leslie gives Helen a speed physics lesson as he explains the technical brilliance that keeps our lights on. We’ll also meet some of the innovative minds behind the technology that’s going to make sure our renewable energy system is stable and efficient in the future.

What is a rotating stabiliser? What’s the next big milestone in the energy transition? You’ll have the answers in the next 35 minutes – and maybe a few more questions too!

In Season 2 of The Clean Energy Revolution podcast, Max La Manna takes a look at the role energy plays in tackling the negative effects of climate change.

 As countries around the world aim to reach net zero emissions, Max discovers how the world will be powered in the next 30 years as we work towards a future that doesn't contribute to global warming.

 Along the way we’ll meet inspiring people who are embracing new technology to make their lives, homes and businesses cleaner and greener, as well as the experts developing the technology, who explain how our lives will be transformed and how we can get involved.

 From the electricity we use in our homes and offices, to our transport, shops, schools, hospitals and factories, the energy we use to fuel our everyday life is getting greener and cleaner.

 National Grid has a crucial role to play, as they supply energy to homes across the UK and the Northeast United States - meaning they’re at the heart of connecting all of us to a greener future.

 Are you ready to be part of the revolution? Join Max for your definitive guide to the net zero energy transition.
