Introducing Energised from Intelligence Squared, made in partnership with Iberdrola, where we explore the most pressing issue of our time: the climate crisis. Temperatures are set to rise more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in the next two decades. Scientists say that such an increase would cause irreversible damage to our planet. But is there still hope? If humans are to blame for climate change, then we must also provide the solutions.
Join us as we bring together experts and policymakers to delve deep into the key issues at the heart of the global drive towards net zero and the innovations that promise to accelerate the energy transition and transform the way we live.

Solar panel installers, architects, environmental scientists, recycling coordinators, wind turbine engineers, geologists, project managers, electric vehicle manufacturers – these are just a small subset of the countless jobs connected to the green revolution. But, for renewable energy to be a sustainable part of our lives, we need to ensure it offers both economic growth and climate security.
The International Labour Organisation estimates that the energy transition could create 25 million new jobs by 2030. To achieve that remarkable goal, we will need investment to ensure that jobs and workers are protected, and to rethink the way our business and employment models work.
But what is life really like for those working at the heart of the green economy?
To dive into this topic, host Kamal Ahmed is joined by Bailey Woolston, one of Scottish Power’s first offshore wind apprentices, currently in his third year as a balance of plant apprentice at the East Anglia ONE wind farm. They discuss how Bailey got into the industry, the ways in which young people can start a meaningful career in the renewables sector, and what a day in the life is like as an apprentice on an offshore wind farm.
