In the latest episode of the Energy Connects podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta hosts Grant Dougans, Partner at Washington, DC for Bain & Company, and the global lead of the company’s strategy capability across Energy and Natural Resources sectors, to discuss the lessons learnt from the recently published Global Energy & Natural Resources (ENR) analysis.

Grant dives deep to examine whether companies are doing enough to speed up decarbonization and whether the target of Net Zero by 2050 is realistic, and identify new growth opportunities for energy businesses.

They also discuss technologies that would be most critical to the pursuit of energy transition, the fallout of a shortage of technical talent in the industry, and why 2030 is a pivotal year in the race to net zero.

As the energy sector accelerates towards a digitally driven, low-carbon future, the path forward is anything but simple. In this episode of the Energy Connects Podcast and as we prepare for the World Utilities Congress 2025, we revisit a standout conversation from the Energy Connects Studio with Oxana Dankova, Global Energy Network Lead at BCG. Oxana discusses the real-world challenges of transitioning to a renewable-powered energy system - from the volatility of solar and wind to the pressure of balancing supply and demand in real time. 

She emphasises the critical role of AI and advanced data analytics in managing modern power grids, enabling predictive infrastructure planning and simulating countless scenarios to avoid costly missteps. Oxana also highlights the potential of decentralised energy systems - particularly at the distribution grid level - to boost resilience and efficiency, especially in developing regions. Drawing on global case studies such as South Australia’s rooftop solar boom and evolving EV strategies across Europe and the US, she outlines what a more flexible, responsive utility model could look like - and the barriers that still remain.

How AI, renewables, and decentralised grids are rewiring the future of energy

Discover key takeaways from Ember's groundbreaking Global Electricity Review 2025! A major milestone has been reached: low-carbon sources now generate over 40% of global electricity. This track breaks down what this pivotal shift means for the worldwide energy transition, our journey towards sustainability, and the accelerating decarbonization of our power systems.

Key Insights from Ember's Global Electricity Review 2025:

🌍 A Historic Turning Point: Over 40% Low-Carbon Power Globally
In 2024, low-carbon power (renewables like solar & wind, plus nuclear) achieved a landmark 40.9% share of global electricity. This is its highest proportion since the 1940s, a remarkable feat considering today's electricity system is 50 times larger. This signals clear and accelerating momentum in global power sector decarbonization.

☀️ Solar Power: The Undisputed Engine of the Energy Transition
Solar energy is the primary force driving this transformation. It was the largest source of new electricity generation globally for the third year running, adding an impressive 474 TWh in 2024 (a 29% year-on-year growth), and has been the fastest-growing electricity source for two decades. Solar generation has doubled in just three years to 2,131 TWh (enough to power all of India!), with global solar capacity hitting 2 Terawatts (TW). Solar is critical for meeting rising demand and displacing fossil fuels.

📈 Rising Demand & New Structural Drivers: A Complex Energy Landscape
While clean energy surges, global electricity demand also grew significantly by 4.0% in 2024, exceeding 30,000 TWh. This growth is driven by heatwaves and, increasingly, by new structural factors: the expansion of Electric Vehicles (EVs), heat pumps, and energy-intensive data centers (for AI and cryptocurrency), whose combined impact on demand growth has more than doubled in just five years. The energy transition must rapidly adapt to these evolving consumption patterns.

⛽ The Fossil Fuel Outlook: Nuance and an Approaching Decline
Global fossil fuel generation rose by 1.4% in 2024, leading to record power sector emissions. However, Ember's report clarifies this was primarily due to hotter temperatures increasing cooling demand. Without this weather impact, the rise would have been minimal (0.2%), as clean energy (927 TWh new generation in 2024) covered 96% of other demand growth. The crucial insight: fossil fuel generation faces a structural decline. Ember’s Managing Director states, "the era of fossil growth is coming to an end."

🔋 The Path Forward: Flexibility, Advanced Storage, and Global Collaboration
Integrating more variable renewables like solar and wind requires enhanced flexibility. Battery storage is a key enabler, with costs falling (lithium-ion pack prices down 20% in 2024) and record installations (69 GW in 2024, nearly doubling total capacity). This makes concepts like 24-hour solar power more feasible. The clean energy deployment in major economies like China and India is also pivotal for a sustained global decline in fossil fuel use.

💬 Reflecting on Our Energy Future
Ember's 2025 review highlights significant progress, especially from solar, but also considerable challenges from rising demand and the need for global cooperation. The fossil fuel era is waning, but our choices today will determine the pace and success of this vital transition.

Clean Power Reaches 40% Global Electricity Review 2025

In the next episode of the Energy Connects podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta sat down with Claudio Golino, Partner at Deloitte, to discuss the critical role of utilities in decarbonisation and shaping the energy transition. Claudio explained how electricity is becoming an increasingly major part of the energy mix, and the key forces of change shaping the energy value chain: decentralisation, democratisation and digitisation. He also discussed Deloitte’s perspective on how the energy transition is evolving across the different parts of the power value chain, the dynamics of rising power demand and its influence on the strategies of utilities, and the way forward for energy companies to navigate this complex and fast-evolving landscape.

Harsha in her podcasts series covers all her interactions with eminent people creating impact on society. The show Live interactions with global changemakers and Youth Questions are interactions with the Corporate Honchos and publicly elected political leaders. It emphasizes strategy to implementation of sustainable development goals and integration of Responsible business practices. The conversations are focussed on understanding the journey to find solutions of complex problems in growing business in tandem with social development.

She is also a poet and in her album universal messages she recites some of her finest words.

Boxergy’s purpose is to make renewables affordable for all and to reduce the carbon emissions from home heating on a national scale.
