The UK’s energy system is undergoing a quiet revolution. As we move away from fossil fuels towards a cleaner, more flexible, and electrified future, Octopus Energy is helping to turn the traditional power grid on its head.

In this episode of New Scientist CoLab, Justin Mullins is joined by Kieron Stopforth, Head of Flexibility at Octopus Energy. 

Kieron explains how the way we generate, store and use electricity is changing - and why your home, solar panels, and even your car could be part of the solution.

This is a New Scientist CoLab production, sponsored by Octopus Energy.
