Ep. 277 wraps up our miniseries on South Africa, exploring how its economic development depends heavily on leaving behind its coal-fired legacy electricity system and making a “just transition” to renewables. https://t.co/z2zZ7XPXRR

In @TransitionShow Ep. 276, we check out one of the most exciting #energytransition stories in the world: South Africa is transitioning its electricity system from a state-owned monopoly to a free market, and from coal to renewables. https://t.co/QeMwd0puiB

In Ep. 275, we review a report from @350 on the cost of delaying the energy transition, and see how the energy transition is helping countries limit the economic damage they are suffering from the global energy crisis resulting from the war in Iran. https://t.co/fVpFpd0sS6

In Ep. 274, @ember_energy's @nicolasfulghum walks us through all the data in their new Global Electricity Review 2026 report. Renewables are finally pushing fossil fuels off the grid and power sector emissions are declining globally for the first time. https://t.co/1jF6iOSii8

In Ep. 272, @nworbmot shares a new model which shows that by 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the global population for less than €80/MWh--cheaper than gas! https://t.co/kQfDgS1V4B

In Ep. 265, @chrisnelder returns to Paris to interview @tim_gould_ about @iea.org’s flagship World Energy Outlook 2025 report. We clarify what its scenarios mean (and what they don’t), and find the global energy transition very much still going strong. https://t.co/WZZ02pkeCn

[Transition Show @[email protected] @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 264, we kick off a new miniseries on South Africa’s energy transition with one of its key progenitors, Professor Emeritus Anton Eberhard of the University of Cape Town, who has been agitating for power sector reforms there for over 35 years. https://t.co/CKsxAHiFL9

In Ep. 263, @chrisnelder debates the CEO of Australian distribution utility @Ausgrid about when and whether it’s best for customers or distribution utilities to own and operate grid assets like battery storage systems. https://t.co/Ups34zIush

[Transition Show @[email protected] @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 262, @nadiabahmad explains how creating a successful energy transition project depends on community engagement and the specific legal and regulatory frameworks of a place. https://t.co/Jdt1ghTIvI

@imdavidbryan @ember_energy @ymymilan @SamButl3r We bring facts and citations. Cite your source if you want to play. Then listen to the episode and learn why building plants does not mean they'll actually run.

[Transition Show @[email protected] @TransitionShow]

@the_squeezle @ember_energy @ymymilan @SamButl3r You might want to update your priors and listen to this episode, because that's no longer the case, and the coal plants are increasingly sitting idle.

[Transition Show @[email protected] @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 260, @ymymilan and @SamButl3r of @ember_energy detail how China has become the undisputed global leader in the energy transition, and is helping developing countries to decarbonize far more rapidly than the economic powerhouses of the West. https://t.co/8IoH7161dH
