Electrifying industry: addressing the grid access problem

The shift from traditional fuels to electricity presents one of the biggest infrastructure challenges of the energy transition.  

From haulage and shipping to data centres, a whole host of new electricity demand customers are emerging, and accessing and managing gigawatt-scale electrical connections isn't just difficult, it's often the main barrier to progress.  

Delivering timely, affordable, and scalable access to power is critical for accelerating electrification and enabling hard-to-abate sectors to decarbonise at pace.  

Our CEO, Mikey Clark, joined Ed Porter at Modo Energy to explain how our Power Parks aim to solve this challenge by bringing grid-scale electricity access to where it's needed most. From siting strategy to connection reform and workforce shortages, they dive into the infrastructure puzzle that underpins net zero.  

Key topics include:  

  • Why hard-to-abate sectors are struggling to secure large-scale grid connections.
  • How Relode is unlocking gigawatt-scale access through its power park model.
  • The logic behind co-locating energy and freight infrastructure.
  • How grid delays, planning, and skills shortages are slowing delivery.
  • Why fleet electrification could scale faster than expected and what's needed to enable it.
