In this Energy Transitions Podcast, Jacopo Tosoni says that energy storage has now become critical infrastructure to deliver energy security.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, you will learn more about:

• The drivers behind the unprecedented pace of Europe's energy storage market growth;
• The markets leading deployment and what countries like the UK, Italy and Germany are doing differently;
• How storage is becoming essential alongside solar and wind as renewable penetration increases;
• Why long-duration energy storage is gaining momentum;
• The policy and regulatory changes still needed to unlock the sector's full potential;
• What the recent EU tripartite agreement on energy storage signals and whether it's ambitious enough;
• How innovation in storage technologies could strengthen Europe's industrial competitiveness and support the growing demand from AI data centres.

As battery energy storage systems become an increasingly critical part of the energy transition, the conversation is shifting from simply deploying more assets to ensuring they are used as intelligently as possible.
In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Henri Taskinen, CEO and co-founder of Capalo AI, about the sophisticated optimisation and trading strategies that are unlocking the full value of battery storage.
He focuses in on how AI, forecasting and advanced algorithms enable storage assets to respond dynamically to changing market conditions, as well as why intelligent optimisation is becoming essential to project bankability.

Europe has already lost around half of its primary aluminium production in recent years, driven by soaring energy costs and intense international competition and yet the ambition to decarbonise industry has never been greater. To unpack the realities facing European industry, as well as the policies that are advancing or preventing deindustrialisation, Pamela Largue speaks with Paul Voss, Director General of European Aluminium. Voss explores why competitively priced electricity is fundamental to Europe's industrial future, why long-term investment in renewables, grids and storage matters more than short-term fixes, and how geopolitical events have reshaped Europe's thinking on trade, resilience and strategic autonomy.
While the industry's commitment to net zero is unwavering, Voss argues that policy must be grounded in technological reality.
