The power grid, port development and decarbonisation with Paul Jewell, National Grid

In this In Conversation episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast, Europe Editor Gary Howard speaks with Paul Jewell, System Development Manager at National Grid about the challenges facing UK energy distribution as decarbonisation looks to change energy demands across the country.

Jewell talks about the familiar challenge of building assets with a long life span during a period of uncertain outlook, and the steps National Grid are taking to ensure its infrastructure is ready to cope with the increase energy demand of the future, as well as changes in energy production.

The conversation covers the likelihood of green fuel production in ports and its effect on energy demand, demand from ancialliary sources like reefers and port equipment, and the scale of demand from cold ironing commercial ships and cruise ships calls.

Jewell also discusses the lessons the grid has learned from rolling out car chargers across motorway infrastructure, and how those lessons can be applied to the needs of ports and the wider maritime industry.

In the episode, paul mentions the National Grid Decarbonisation Tool for Ports and the relevant experience gathered from the Take Charge project.
