Why is coal called back into service? Why are several countries extending the life of coal-fired power plants, changing their previous rules? Is this because of politics? Or is it because of engineering?

All these questions and more are answered by Hans G. Conrads (CEO of Promecon) in a candid conversation with Ravi and JAM about the Energy Trilemma.

Hans is an expert in the sector, and the Energy Transition shall benefit his business. However, he is crystal clear about the actual situation and the challenges involved in unlocking the energy trilemma.

Heavy Power Users, such as AI Data Centers or Hydrogen Electrolyzers, swing their load by tens or hundreds of megawatts in a second on their own control logic, without any warning or visibility for the Power Grid Operator,  who can't see the ramp until it's already stressing the system.

Ravi and JAM speak with Dlzar Al Kez, a Researcher on Net Zero Infrastructure at the University of Manchester.

Mats Larsson, founder of the Global Energy Transformation Institute, discusses the staggering scale of transformation required for a full shift to electromobility.

He warns that electrifying all vehicles in Europe would require nearly half of the continent's current annual electricity production.

The conversation explores the systemic changes needed in regulation, grid expansion, and workforce training to support a resilient and sustainable transport system.
