Britain’s driveways are quietly becoming one of the most powerful assets in the energy system. With more than a gigawatt of aggregated EV flexibility now online, EVs are no longer just a passive load - they’re a mainstream grid resource. In this episode of Talking Power, Tim McMann Smith is joined by Martin Walsh, Chief Product & Technology Officer, Pod and John Grant Arrowsmith, Senior Manager, Flex Partnerships, EDF Business & Wholesale. Together, they unpack how EV flexibility is scaling, what consumers really want, and why V2G is finally moving from theory to reality.

In this episode of Talking Power, Tim McMann Smith speaks with Jon Slowe (LCP Delta) and Christopher Dalley (EDF Business & Wholesale) about how I&C customers are adapting - and what suppliers, or energy partners, must do to keep pace.

In this episode of Talking Power, brought to you in partnership with EDF and The Energyst, we dive into one of the most talked about themes in the UK energy landscape - flexibility. More than just a way to save on costs, flexibility helps businesses strengthen resilience, open up new revenue opportunities, and accelerate progress toward net zero. Tune in to understand the real world challenges and opportunities of flexibility, from financial and technical barriers to cultural change, and how organisations can take their first steps into this transformative space.

In this episode of the Talking Power Podcast, host Tim McManan-Smith sits down with Tom Abbott, PPA Director at EDF, and Andrew Peyman, Head of Energy Sales at Innova, to unpack the rapidly shifting landscape of renewable energy contracts. Together, they explore the recent reforms to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme and the implications of the AR7 delay, how CfD PPAs compare with Corporate PPAs (CPPAs) and the growing influence of market volatility and power price cannibalisation on PPA strategies. Whether you're a developer, energy buyer, or just navigating the complex world of renewables, this episode offers essential insights into securing and structuring PPAs in today’s evolving energy market.

In this episode, Edd Mitchell, Senior Manager of Key Accounts at EDF Business Solutions, and Tom Thackray, Head of Strategy & Sustainability at EDF discuss the balance between sustainability and risk, policy and regulatory changes in support of net zero commitments, going back to basics with energy efficiency and how to implement a comprehensive sustainability strategy.
