Accelerating to new speed with Julian Nebreda and Sabine Erlinghagen

With the podcast decoding the future of energy, Siemens Grid Software shows that the energy transition can be fun and conveys positive visions of the future. Brace yourself for a surprising mix of fiction and reality: Which utopias do we pursue when we think about the power grid of the future? What technologies will we need? What role will software play? Will electricity customers become electricity producers or electricity traders? And how will an independent, sustainable, and decentralized grid change our lives? We will be discussing these topics with Siemens experts and high-profile guests. Together, in six episodes, we will decode the energy transition of the power grid - and all the prospects, challenges and opportunities it brings for society as a whole.More information: www.siemens.com/grid-softwareFollow us on LinkedIn and TwitterQuestions - Feedback - Contact: Send us an email!
