Balancing the grid: why optimisation matters more than ever

Ross McKenzie joins Will Gardiner, Paul Sheffield and Andy Lowe to discuss how optimisation is helping manage the growing complexity of the grid.

As more wind and solar power come online, the energy system is becoming more complex to manage. Supply is less predictable, demand is changing, and the need to balance both in real time is greater than ever.

In this discussion, Ross McKenzie brings together Drax CEO Will Gardiner, Chief Commercial Officer Paul Sheffield and Flexitricity CEO Andy Lowe to explore how optimisation is helping to meet that challenge.

Together, they unpack what optimisation means in practice, why it matters now, and how it can make energy systems more flexible, resilient and cost effective.
