Show Notes

In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, Yusuf Latief speaks to Bernard Salha, CTO of EDF Group, to unpack nuclear’s role in the energy mix, grid optimisation and the importance of digitalisation and AI to secure the future of the sector.

While all eyes are on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, nuclear’s role in the energy mix is evolving quickly.

And even though there seems little doubt about the role of nuclear power as a source of clean power and flexible capacity, the evolving and increasingly complex energy system means digitalisation will become critical to ensuring nuclear capacity is maximised.

“We have to take into account that this global system is going to be more complex, more decentralised with several actors, and that the stability is going to need to have all these actors, all these different players working together. In that respect, digital systems for grid management are absolutely necessary.”

Bernard Salha
