Energy Live News is the leader in energy news and information. We started with a simple vision to cover energy across the board, fossil fuels or renewables, nuclear or cleantech we will bring the news to you wherever it is happening. We are independent, fair and engaging and listen to all voices across the sector. We are leaders in online TV for the energy sector and we bring you interviews and interesting filmed stories from across the UK and abroad and very proud to have won the BEST JOURNALISM prize at the 2012 Scottish Green Energy Awards.

Energy is a complex business but we make it simple. Our aim is to explain the business of energy to everyone from the CEO of a multi-national corporation to the person who changes the light bulbs in your office. If you deal in the business of energy we communicate the issues that matter to you.

The world confronts increasing energy demands alongside the challenges of climate change. GridBeyond’s recent white paper Global Energy Trends 2025 and beyond | The rise of the demand side offers an analysis of the driving forces, emerging trends, and policy frameworks influencing the future of energy systems.  
Aging infrastructure, rising energy needs, and the integration of renewables present shared hurdles across regions like the UK, Ireland, USA, Australia, and Japan. Yet, these challenges offer transformative opportunities for innovation and collaboration. 
While renewables such as solar PV are setting new records, the shift toward intermittent energy sources is transforming the traditional electricity value chain. Grids built for simpler times are now under pressure. But amidst these challenges lies an exciting opportunity for flexibility to reshape our energy systems.  
In our upcoming webinar part of our Global Energy Trends 2025 series, our experts will examine how 
• The rise of electrification and decentralisation in energy systems 
• How flexibility is critical for balancing energy security, growth, and sustainability 
• How technologies, such as electric vehicles, demand side management and virtual power plants are providing flexibility  
• Innovations and policies shaping the future of the energy sector
