Show Notes

In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, we are joined by Jeroen van Hoof, Global Energy Utilities & Resources leader in PwC and Vice Chair of the 2024 World Energy Congress, to explore the complexities of energy transition.

Van Hoof emphasises the human elements at the heart of our shift to net zero. Understanding how a new energy system will impact people’s daily lives, promoting energy literacy, as well as encouraging buy in and commitment from people, not only governments and corporations, are critical elements of a successful transition.

This transition is a complex balancing act between many moving parts, according to van Hoof, and a marshalled, collective effort will be necessary to bring it all together.

“Managing energy transitions is as complicated as upgrading a Swiss precision clock without first stopping it from working. Collective collaboration of all the moving parts is key.”
