Home Stories Engineering innovation stories IFA2: low-carbon electricity now flowing through second UK-France interconnector 22 Jan 2021 After almost three years of construction – and despite coronavirus pandemic restrictions – low-carbon electricity has now started flowing at full capacity through IFA2. Our second electricity interconnector linking the UK and France takes us a step further on the journey to net zero. Future Thinking: Unlocking a green recovery through innovation 14 Dec 2020 As we work to tackle climate change while facing the challenges of a post-COVID recovery, Iliana Portugues explains why thinking differently has never been more important – and how downhill mountain bike racing helps her keep her mind open. Net Zero know-how: Charging EVs on the move could end range anxiety 8 Dec 2020 Dynamic charging could be the future for emissions-free driving. Innovation Engineer Mingyu Sun leads a pioneering project in our Innovation team, exploring the potential to charge EVs as they drive by installing electric layers beneath our road systems. Net Zero know-how: Testing the future of energy 8 Dec 2020 From a dramatically reduced carbon footprint concrete to renewable heat pump networks, our Innovation team is focusing its academic skills, engineering experience and problem-solving curiosity on building a clean energy future for us all. Why there’s never been a more exciting time to be an engineer 7 Nov 2020 Here David Wright, Director of Electricity Transmission and Chief Electricity Engineer, explains how choosing a career as an engineer can make an immense difference to the world now – and in the future. We need more women studying STEM 4 Nov 2020 Engineering is not just for the men, as women engineers like Ffion Davies-Cale prove. She’s keen to bring more women into engineering, to help deliver the diversity of thought needed to make the shift to cleaner energy. Load More
