About The Hypercube Podcast

The Hypercube Energy Podcast explores the application of technology, data and AI across the energy sector. In the fast-moving energy landscape, organisations of all sizes need to understand and adopt emerging tech to tackle complex problems, identify new areas of innovation and capitalise on opportunity. What should an energy technology strategy look like? How do we identify what problems to solve first? What innovations are being made in the industry? These are the questions that host Adam Sroka seeks to answer on this show. In each episode, he sits down with tech experts and business leaders from the energy sector to understand exactly how they are solving energy-specific data challenges today.

   43 years in energy: beyond the race for cheap power | Clark MacFarlane, Siemens Gamesa

   On this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam Sroka speaks with Clark MacFarlane (https://www.linkedin.com/in/clark-macfarlane-06809810/), former UK Chairman at Siemens Gamesa (https://www.siemensgamesa.com/global/en/home.html), about what it will take to build the infrastructure, supply chains and workforce needed for the decades ahead. After a 43-year career spanning energy, technology, defence and infrastructure, Clark reflects on how dramatically the sector has changed and why the next phase will require even greater ambition. He discusses the evolution of offshore wind, his role in helping shape the Offshore Wind Sector Deal, and why consistent policy is essential if industry is expected to invest, scale and deliver. The conversation also looks at the UK supply chain, grid expansion, project economics and the importance of playing to national strengths in areas such as engineering, ports, logistics, digital technology and AI. Clark explains why long-term certainty matters more than short-term price pressure, and why building enough electricity infrastructure to meet future demand will depend on creating an industry capable of delivering at sustained scale. Adam and Clark discuss: How the UK energy sector has changed over the past four decades The Offshore Wind Sector Deal and the importance of long-term policy Building stronger UK supply chains and creating sustainable jobs The scale of grid and electricity infrastructure needed over the next 30 years The role of innovation, AI and digital tools in project delivery

   The future grid: intelligent or insufficient? | Sam Mathew, Microsoft

   On this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam Sroka speaks with Sam Mathew (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-mathew/), Director and Industry Lead for Energy & Utilities at Microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb), about how AI, digital technologies and data are informing the next generation of the energy sector. Drawing on experience spanning offshore oil and gas, consulting and technology, Sam shares why the energy industry's biggest challenges are no longer technical, but organisational. Success will depend on modernising critical infrastructure, attracting the next generation of talent and embedding intelligent digital systems across the energy sector. The conversation explores the energy trilemma, AI-driven electricity demand, digital substations, grid modernisation and the importance of embedding intelligence across the energy system. Sam also discusses why the future grid must become more adaptive, why technology should empower people rather than replace them, and how learning from other industries and countries can help accelerate progress. Adam and Sam discuss: Why the energy sector must embrace AI and digital transformation The challenge of modernising the electricity grid Digital substations and intelligent infrastructure Why people and culture matter more than technology AI, data centres and the future of energy demand
