  • Trust is the Fast Track, Seda Orhan, CAN Europe
    🎧 Guest:Seda Orhan, Renewable Energy Programme Manager at Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe and board member at the Renewable Grids Initiative🔎 Episode Summary:If the first time locals hear about your wind or solar project is when the diggers arrive, you’ve already lost.In this episode, Marine Cornelis is joined by Seda Orhan to discuss the invisible ingredient that makes or breaks renewable energy projects: trust. Seda unpacks CAN Europe’s latest report, Community Engagement and Fair Benefit Sharing of Renewable Energy Projects, which offers 14+1 concrete KPIs to help developers—and policymakers—move beyond box-ticking towards meaningful participation.Because here’s the thing: community engagement isn’t a brochure. It’s a conversation. And when it works, it’s magic.🌱 Highlights:From resistance to resilience: Why fair benefit sharing is essential to earning a social licence—and how failing to build trust delays or even kills projects.What bad engagement looks like: Seda lays out the patterns: poor site choices, vague timelines, late-stage notifications, and empty “consultations.”The 14+1 checklist for fairness: Practical indicators—from local jobs to co-ownership—to assess whether a project genuinely benefits its host community.Italy vs Germany: What different regulatory approaches reveal about who gets heard—and who gets sidelined.Why co-ownership matters: The transformative power of giving communities not just a voice, but a stake.🛠️ Resource spotlight:📄 Community Engagement and Fair Benefit Sharing of Renewable Energy Projects – CAN Europe Report🗣️ Like what you hear?Share the episode, rate the podcast, and follow us on LinkedIn for more unfiltered conversations about the future of energy.Energ' Ethic goes out every other week.Keep up to date with new episodes straight from your inboxReach out to Marine Cornelis via BlueSky or LinkedInMusic: I Need You Here - KamariusEdition: Podcast Media Factory Support Energ'Ethic on Patreon© Next Energy Consumer, 2025Hosted by Ausha.

  • If You Don’t See Anyone Like You, It’s Because You’re Meant to Be There, with Joana Simão Costa and Ilaria Conti
    This episode is a call to action.Recorded at the stunning Florence School of Regulation, this special episode of Energ’Ethic shines a very necessary light on the link between representation, power, and progress in the energy transition.Let’s say it again: there’s no energy transition without equality. From gas platforms with no toilets for women, to boardrooms still stuck in the status quo, the energy sector has work to do. But there are people doing that work, and doing it brilliantly.Enter Joana Simão Costa, who leads the European Commission’s Equality Platform, and Ilaria Conti, behind the Lights on Women initiative and the LUCE Awards.Together, we unpack:why the Equality Platform is rewriting the rules from the inside,how Lights on Women and the LUCE Awards went from grassroots frustration to global celebration, andwhat it really takes to turn systemic bias into collective momentum.This episode is for anyone who’s ever walked into a room and felt out of place, and for those ready to build rooms where everyone belongs.Highlights:“Should we fix the women or fix the system?”Spoiler: it’s the system. Always.“No ladies’ toilet at the gas substation? That’s the message.”Inclusion starts with infrastructure."If you don’t see anyone like you in the room, it’s because you are unique. Find what makes you you—and build on it.”Yes. That’s a quote worth framing.From idea to impactHow Lights on Women handed out over 50 training scholarships, and why visibility is still half the battle.Mentoring, but smarterInside the Equality Platform’s B2B mentoring: because no one should have to reinvent equality on their own.LUCE means light, and actionWhy celebrating legacy leaders and emerging talents matters.

For change.Want More?Equality Platform – European CommissionLights on WomenLUCE AwardsWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ISnUkpKsz7o --- Energ' Ethic goes out every other week.Keep up to date with new episodes straight from your inboxReach out to Marine Cornelis via BlueSky or LinkedInMusic: I Need You Here - KamariusEdition: Podcast Media Factory Support Energ'Ethic on Patreon© Next Energy Consumer, 2025Hosted by Ausha.

  • Too Young to Wait: How EYEN Built a Seat at the Energy Table, Federico Barbieri and Carlotta Ferri
    This episode is about the people who got tired of waiting their turn — and built their own table instead.Marine Cornelis sits down with Federico Barbieri and Carlotta Ferri, President and Vice-President of EYEN – the European Youth Energy Network, a buzzing coalition of young minds who decided that youth in Europe didn’t need another panel slot or empty round of applause — they needed power, presence, and purpose.🚀 From sidelined to central: It all began in 2019 at a flashy international conference in Canada where youth delegates were invited... but kept out of the room where it happened. So what did they do? They took their post-its and ideas to a bar outside the European Commission and sketched out a new vision: an organisation built by and for youth to have a say in shaping Europe’s energy future.💡 Not another talking shop: EYEN doesn’t just publish position papers or run events — it’s become a think-and-do tank, launching initiatives like:The European Youth Energy ForumThe Young Energy Consumers Task ForceThe Energy Transition Career CompassAnd (soon) the first-ever survey on youth energy poverty in Europe🧠 Real talk, no tokenism: Federico and Carlotta are refreshingly honest about what it takes to build something meaningful — from struggling with Belgian bureaucracy to navigating what "youth" really means when you’re trying to serve students, young parents, electricians and policy nerds all in one go.🔧 Behind the scenes: EYEN’s secret? A network of over 2000 active volunteers across Europe, fuelled by mutual support, shared purpose — and zero membership fees. Because no one should be priced out of shaping the future.💬 “Every time a local youth organisation dies out, a connection between society and the energy transition disappears.”💬 “We don’t just want to be included. We want to bring value.”Why listen?Because if we keep talking about democratisation without asking who’s in the room, we’re missing the point. This episode is a celebration of doing things differently — and a roadmap for those brave enough to start from scratch.🎧 Listen now — and if you’re under 35, join EYEN. If you’re over 35, send this to someone who isn’t. Or better yet, help fund the next youth-led breakthrough.

  • Trading in Uncertainty, Investing in Europe, Mark Copley, Energy Traders Europe
    In this episode of Energ’Ethic, host Marine Cornelis sits down with Mark Copley, CEO of Energy Traders Europe, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of our energy system: trading.Energy trading often feels like a secret society—shrouded in jargon, heavy with high stakes, and, let’s be honest, not the most relatable part of the transition narrative. But Mark shows us a different side: one where traders act as the shock absorbers and oil in the engine of Europe’s energy system.Together, they explore:🔹 Mark’s Journey: From childhood train journeys across Europe to shaping policy at Ofgem, BEIS, and ACER, and ultimately championing energy trading at the European level.🔹 What Traders Actually Do: Far from the Wolf of Wall Street stereotype, traders manage risk, stabilise volatile markets, and enable investments in renewables. Without them, fixed energy prices and large-scale renewable projects would be almost impossible.🔹 The Role of Markets in Crisis: During the energy crisis, trading proved its strength—not its weakness—by keeping the system afloat amidst historic shocks.🔹 Decarbonisation and Trading: Mark shares how efficient, well-regulated markets are key to supporting Europe’s decarbonisation goals—and why trading will become even more crucial as renewables dominate.🔹 The Gender (and Diversity) Gap: We tackle the uncomfortable realities of trading’s male-dominated culture, the excuses still floating around, and why meaningful action is urgently needed.🔹 A Call for Systemic Thinking: No single solution will deliver the energy transition. It is about integration—large-scale grids and local energy communities, innovation and regulation, policy ambition and market efficiency.🔹 A Vision for Europe: Mark dreams of an "energy Hanseatic League," a Europe where collaboration and smart rules drive a cleaner, fairer, and more resilient system.💬 “There is no shortage of smart ideas. The real challenge is working together, across borders, across sectors, to make the energy transition happen.” — Mark Copley🌍 Why You Should ListenIf you want to understand why energy markets are essential to Europe’s green future—and how we can make them work better for people and the planet—this conversation is for you.Expect honesty, wit, and a few bad bee metaphors (yes, really).A big thanks to Energy Traders Europe for their generous sponsorship.Energ' Ethic goes out every other week.Keep up to date with new episodes straight from your inboxReach out to Marine Cornelis via BlueSky or LinkedInMusic: I Need You Here - KamariusEdition: Podcast Media Factory Support Energ'Ethic on Patreon© Next Energy Consumer, 2025Hosted by Ausha.

  • AI’s Role in an Equitable Energy Transition (with Decisions Now)
    In this episode, Marine Cornelis swaps roles and becomes the guest on Decisions Now, a podcast by Evalueserve exploring how AI and data are reshaping business decisions across sectors.Together with host Erin Pearson, Marine dives into a topic close to her heart: how to make sure that innovation in the energy sector actually serves people—not just systems or markets.This candid and wide-ranging conversation explores what it takes to build trust in a world increasingly driven by algorithms and automation.🎧 Originally aired on Decisions Now, this episode is shared on Energ’Ethic as part of our partner content series.Highlights🔌 What energy fairness really means—from global access gaps to the silent struggles of European households making impossible choices between heating and eating.🧠 AI as ‘augmented intelligence’—Marine explains why the human touch still matters, and how to use automation without losing accountability.💬 The power of good communication—Why the energy sector needs less jargon and more empathy. Spoiler: your marketing team might be your best asset in the transition.🧺 Toasters, transparency, and trust—A witty (and slightly unsettling) look at what our connected devices know about us, and why clear rules around data use matter more than ever.🧓🏽 Consumer segmentation meets compassion—How different generations relate to energy providers, and why the best businesses learn to listen first.Why listen?This episode will resonate with anyone working in or around the energy transition—especially those curious about how to keep people at the centre of it all.It’s also a great introduction to Decisions Now, a podcast that brings smart, engaging perspectives on how data and AI shape our world—without losing sight of human values.🎙️ Listen now, and discover why the energy transition is as much about hearts and minds as it is about grids and algorithms.Energ' Ethic goes out every other week.Keep up to date with new episodes straight from your inboxReach out to Marine Cornelis via BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/marinenextenerg.bsky.social or LinkedInMusic: I Need You Here - KamariusEdition: Podcast Media Factory Support Energ'Ethic on Patreon https://patreon.com/Energethic© Next Energy Consumer, 2025Hosted by Ausha.
