Thawing the frozen middle of consumers

Talking Transitions is a new special podcast series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy and EY looking at how the transition to a sustainable economy—both from an environmental, but also social perspective—is affecting three key areas: the energy and resources industry, the financial services sector, and Government.In this session, the panellists examine the role of consumers and end users in the energy transition and how they are—or are not—being proactive in this space. Around 70% of the benefits from the energy transition depend on consumer action, yet only 30% are engaged, according to EY. Key barriers—including affordability, equity, accessibility and the broader value proposition—impact the success and speed of the energy transition. The energy ecosystem needs to address these barriers and engage with consumers to transform their experience.Joining EY’s Greg Guthridge and FORESIGHT’s David Weston on this episode of Talking Transitions are:Charlotte Johnson, Global Head of Markets at Krakenn Technologies, Octopus Energy Group, a UK-based utility companyCillian O’Donoghue, Policy Director at EurelectricMegat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, Chief Operating Officer of utility TNBEnjoy the show!Complimentary access for one month - join the debate!We are delighted to extend an exclusive invitation to you to access FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's community of energy transition enthusiasts and experts.Sign up here, download the award-winning app, and enjoy complimentary access to all exclusive features.  Hosted on Acast.
