In season 5 of Beyond Curious with LCP, we bring together voices from across LCP to examine how climate change is reshaping the systems we rely on. Host Nigel Timperley works in the thick of the energy transition, but this series takes a broader perspective. Each episode asks what different sectors are seeing on the ground, with straight conversation on risks, openings and blind spots, and what good practice actually looks like. 

This week, host Nigel Timperley talks to Sam Hollister and Mark Watts about the state of UK energy policy and what it means for the energy transition. We explore how recent policy signals are landing with investors and consumers, whether Clean Power 2030 is still credible, and why treating the transition as a whole system matters more than ever.

The episode covers:

  • The current state of UK energy policy and Clean Power 2030
  • What policy uncertainty means for investment and infrastructure
  • Why electric vehicle adoption is outpacing heat pumps
  • The role of the National Wealth Fund
