With renewable projects on the rise, we profile the most successful state-backed finance models designed to support investment in solar, map out the spread of Asia’s rapid acceleration in nuclear power, and ask does the UK really want a smart grid and what it would entail.
Plus, we speak to UK electric car charging company POD Point about the anticipated hyper-growth of the electric vehicle market, and see how simulating failures using virtual power plants can help firms prepare for the worst.

Wales is famed for its natural resources and coal mining industry but recent years have seen the country turn to modern renewable energies. One such project is Dinorwig, a rapid water flow pumped hydroelectric power station. We take a look inside Dinorwig, as one of the fastest supply stations in the world and a forbearer of an increasingly popular energy supply model. Also in Wales, we catch up with the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project, following renewed enthusiasm from a positive government-commissioned report and backing from over 100 MPs.
Elsewhere, we profile the innovative Lakota Solar Enterprises’ mission to bring green energy skills and infrastructure to Native Americans, speak to energy analysts about China’s plan to invest $361bn into renewables, and hear what consumers think about the development of smart grids.
Plus, we examine Australia’s determination to cling onto coal and its low adoption of renewable power projects to ask, will this remain the case?
