In this episode of the Energy Connects Podcast, we revisit a conversation with Asheesh Sastry, Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), to explore why there is no single global energy transition, but multiple transitions progressing at different speeds. Asheesh shares insights into the key trends driving the energy sector, from rising electricity demand and shifting investment priorities to the growing focus on returns, resilience and execution. The conversation also examines how energy leaders can navigate uncertainty, allocate capital effectively, and maintain momentum in a rapidly evolving landscape.

In the next episode of the Energy Connects podcast, host Chiranjib Sengupta speaks to Ashish Khanna, Director General of the International Solar Alliance, as the organisation celebrates a 10-year milestone. In this revisited conversation, Khanna reflects on the organisation’s journey and how it has grown to its current strength of 25 member countries, highlighting the rapid growth of solar deployment, the need to unlock private-sector investment, and the importance of building local skills and institutions. He also explores how AI and digitalisation can expand energy access, support distributed renewable energy systems, and help developing nations leapfrog into a more sustainable future.

In the latest episode of the Energy Connects podcast, host Chiranjib Sengupta talks to Dr Sama Bilbao y León, Director General of World Nuclear Association, about the growing momentum behind nuclear energy and the opportunities for private capital investment.

As geopolitical tensions and energy security concerns rise, Dr Sama explains how shifting investor sentiment, stronger policy frameworks and public–private partnerships can help make nuclear projects more bankable. The discussion also highlights opportunities across the nuclear value chain, from large reactors to small modular ones, and what it will take to deliver long-term, sustainable investment at scale in the years ahead.
