EP.272 – Renewables at Scale: Flexibility, Grids and the Future Power System

This week on Energy Unplugged, we’re joined by Ana Marques, Executive Board Member at EDP. She joins Ana Barillas, Aurora’s Managing Director for Iberia & LatAm, to explore how flexibility, grids, and system resilience are becoming central to the next phase of the energy transition, alongside continued growth in wind and solar.

Ana sits on EDP’s Executive Board and oversees the group’s global renewable generation platform, alongside responsibility for digital, technology, and safety. Drawing on EDP’s international footprint, she shares how scale, technology diversification, and disciplined value creation underpin the company’s strategy, and why renewables must increasingly deliver not just clean energy, but also reliability and system services.

You will learn:

Why flexibility, grids, and resilience are now critical pillars of renewable-heavy power systems.
How renewables and storage are increasingly contributing to ancillary services and system stability.
What lessons recent system stress events offer for operating low-carbon power markets.
How electrification, data centres, and hydrogen are reshaping future power demand and market design.

Registration for the leading annual gathering of the European energy industry – the Aurora Spring Forum, taking place on 29th April 2026, in London is open - a one-day deep dive into the biggest strategic questions shaping Europe’s energy transition, plus top-tier networking and a live recording of Energy Unplugged.
