    Host: Damian Bell - AI Platforms and Microsoft Power Platforms, Amey

    Co-host: Taryn Hide - Market Director, Advisory & Analytics, Amey 

    Guest: Neha Govila - Head of Data, Digital & Technology, Analytics & Advisory, Amey 


    Data and technology are becoming increasingly critical to the modern energy landscape, enabling smarter, more efficient local energy systems. Bell, Hide, and Govila chat about the opportunities and challenges in data collection, sharing, and governance while focusing on:


    The role of data in SLES and how it supports energy optimisation

    Key data applications like demand forecasting and real-time monitoring

    The technologies powering SLES - smart grids and IoT devices for monitoring and control, and AI and machine learning for predictive analytics

    How to overcome data barriers – data maturity, data privacy and security concerns in local energy systems, addressing digital skills and knowledge gaps in leveraging technology effectively

    At Amey we believe that the future of energy is local, smarter, and more sustainable which is why we created Sustainable Infrastructure, covering the latest developments in urban sustainability, smart local energy systems, and cutting-edge infrastructure technology. 



    Sustainable Infrastructure is hosted by Damian Bell - a seasoned professional leading AI Platforms and Microsoft Power Platforms at Amey - and features experts from Amey – one of the UK’s leading providers of full life-cycle engineering, operations and decarbonisation solutions for infrastructure.


    How can smart local energy systems (SLES) accelerate decarbonisation?

    What role will data, AI, and digital twins play in the future of renewable energy?

    How can rail infrastructure, sustainable transport hubs, and urban planning support sustainable development and help the UK achieve a more resilient network?

    How do partnerships, funding models, and community engagement unlock smarter, cleaner, and more resilient infrastructure? 


    On Sustainable Infrastructure, where we explore the innovation reshaping UK infrastructure and driving energy transition forward, get answers to questions like these – plus insights on technology innovation, public-private sector partnerships, and the evolving role of infrastructure in a Net Zero future.

  • Building multi-faceted SLES projects requires collaboration across various sectors, including both public and private stakeholders. In fact, it’s almost impossible for large-scale infrastructure projects to succeed without the right partnerships. 



    Exploring why partnerships are essential to the success of SLES initiatives are:


    Host: Damian Bell - AI Platforms and Microsoft Power Platforms, Amey

    Co-host: John Hassall - Senior Project Manager, Transport Infrastructure, Amey

    Guests: Emily Davies - ESG Director, and David Aird - Business Director, Net Zero & Energy Solutions 


    Bell, Hassall, Davies, and Aird know that from pooling resources and expertise to aligning diverse strategic goals, partnerships play a crucial role in scaling local energy systems.



    That’s why they discuss the following on this episode of Sustainable Infrastructure:


    The importance of partnerships when implementing and scaling SLES initiatives

    How effective collaborations between public and private sector stakeholders can make SLES a reality

    The challenges and opportunities of aligning goals between different stakeholders

    The role of partnerships in pooling resources, knowledge, and expertise to drive SLES solutions/initiatives
