About The Interchange: Recharged
Clean tech, green finance and energy innovation are the three lanes on the road to a successful global energy transition. At the intersection of these lanes is a place where ideas on finance, technology and policy are shared and debated. That intersection is Interchange Recharged.Your host is Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst and research director at Wood Mackenzie. When Sylvia isn't tracking the technologies and markets driving the build-out of renewable power, she's speaking with visionaries, entrepreneurs, policy-makers and energy analysts to explore the newest developments in renewable technology, explain the ideas on global energy policy that could accelerate the energy transition, and identify new funding and financial models that could solve the biggest challenges we face on the way to net zero.Sylvia and her guests bring you data and forecasts on clean technology, climate science, and offer predictions on the build out of utility-scale projects and the future of green finance.What does the surge in data-centre demand mean for the grid, and who pays for it? What's happening in global EV adoption and development? What's the forecast for solar, one of the major success stories of renewable energy in the last ten years? What does the data tell us about the future of hydrogen, of nuclear, or of low-carbon power? These are examples of the insights and detailed analyses you can expect bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 7am ET.If you like The Energy Transition Show, Catalyst with Shayle Kann, The Big Switch from Columbia University, Open Circuit with Jigar Shah or The Green Blueprint, you’ll enjoy Interchange Recharged.

When hydro is no longer enough: Colombia’s race to diversify before the next El Niño
Published 22 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] What do you think? Well, this is a really good question. Having clean, as you say, cheap and valuable energy is the dream of everyone. Every single country wants that. Colombia has one of the best natural resources in Latin America. And as you say, more or less 70% of the electricity comes from hydropower. This is mervious when you have water, but El Nino is changing everything. You have some years when you don't have water. So when we look at what is happening here, what used to be like one of our main strengths is now one of our main risk. It's not coincidence that the first renewable energy law in Colombia was issued in 2014. […]
