In this episode of Baringa’s Energy Innovators Podcast, you’ll hear from James Humfrey, CEO of Xlinks, as he takes you inside one of the most ambitious renewable energy projects in the world: transporting clean power across continents using subsea cables.
As you listen, you’ll discover:
Why interconnectors matter to you as the energy system shifts toward net zero.
How Morocco’s solar and wind patterns can deliver up to 19 hours of clean power to Europe — and what that means for grid stability.
What it really takes to navigate the geopolitical, regulatory, and technical challenges of mega‑scale energy infrastructure.
How projects like this get financed, and what you should understand about the balance between public and private capital.
How subsea cables are protected and repaired, giving you a clearer picture of the real security risks (and the myths).
Leadership lessons you can apply, as James reflects on mentors, risk‑taking, and building a career in the energy transition.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a sharper understanding of how long‑distance clean‑energy transmission works — and how it could reshape the future energy system you rely on every day.
