EP. 288 Building the Backbone of the Energy Transition

This week on Energy Unplugged, Pierre Dennery, Aurora’s outgoing Country Head for France, is joined by Dominique Ferreira, Global Brand Director for Omexom, the energy infrastructure brand of VINCI Energies.

Recorded live at the Building Beyond Conference in Paris, hosted by Leonard, VINCI's foresight and innovation platform. The conversation explores the growing importance of grid infrastructure in the energy transition, and why long-term investment, policy stability, and electrification are becoming central to energy security and decarbonisation strategies worldwide. Dominique works across Omexom’s global operations supporting grid infrastructure, electrification, and digitalisation projects that enable the energy transition across more than 30 countries.

Pierre and Dominique discuss the evolving balance between decentralisation and interconnection, how infrastructure priorities differ across regions, and the role of digitalisation, AI, and new grid technologies in shaping the future electricity system.

You will learn about:

Why grid infrastructure has become one of the key bottlenecks of the global energy transition.

How countries are balancing energy sovereignty, decarbonisation, and electrification through different energy strategies.

Why interconnection and decentralisation are developing simultaneously across energy systems worldwide.

How AI, digital twins, and predictive maintenance are changing the way grids are designed and operated.
