Claire BrownHOST
Welcome to this Retrofit Information Support and Expertise, RISE podcast.
Claire BrownHOST
RISE retrofit learning support is delivered by Turner & Townsend, and is funded by DESNZ to support future retrofit grant applicants deliver projects.
Claire BrownHOST
In today's podcast, we will hear from Warmer Homes London, a focus on retrofit for London and supporting the capital.
Claire BrownHOST
Today we are joined by Jack and Jung from Warmer Homes London, so a massive welcome to both of you.
Zung NguyenGUEST
I'm Jung.
Zung NguyenGUEST
I'm Warmer Homes London's retrofit strategy and services director, and I'm a relative newcomer to retrofit, but my expertise is really around how do we scale decarbonization and sustainability policy, and I really focus on the adoption and the scale on the operationalization and really about achieving impact through getting people to come on board in designing the systems and services.
Zung NguyenGUEST
And so prior to this job, some of the roles that I've supported with is helping DESNZ set up the digital infrastructure for heat network zoning so that, you know, some of the zoning can be shared and consulted with authorities around the UK.
Zung NguyenGUEST
And I also worked briefly for the UN in scaling their carbon market infrastructure globally so that different countries can share and trade carbon credits with each other.
Ben PileGUEST
So that's going to be, they want to call net zero something else.
Ben PileGUEST
And I've suggested that they're going to have to end up calling the Department for Energy Security net zero, the fluffy kittens for motherhood and apple pie.
Ben PileGUEST
Because there's no, I mean, how are you going to dress this up? How are you going to address the fact that since the government came to power, its promises of £300 lower bills have in fact resulted in at least £600 higher bills.
Ben PileGUEST
So you can't communicate this stuff away.
Weijia YuanGUEST
... yeah, for someone to get into.
JoshHOST
And, and there's, there's been s- substantial funding from DESNZ into the UKAEA for this-
Weijia YuanGUEST
Mm-hmm
JoshHOST
... uh, with a number of, uh, PhDs.
Anthony OliverHOST
But there's more in the pipeline and more to talk about as we continue to probe the big issues facing the sector.

Anthony OliverHOST

Anthony OliverHOST
And thanks again to Javier.
Belinda ClarkeHOST
Well, we all talk to DEFRA a lot.
Belinda ClarkeHOST
We talk to DESNES, Department for Energy, Net Zero, Energy Security and Net Zero, isn't it? And this sounds like also there's a lot of government departments that should be interested.
Belinda ClarkeHOST
So you heard it here first.
Belinda ClarkeHOST
Now, just before we close, can we just have a quick chat about crypto, no, quantum computing and resilience and security?
Joe FaganGUEST
I have to say at the chat about Jack Daw being approved and not Rosebank, that was a rumour that had been circulating for quite a while, even long before that.
Joe FaganGUEST
Because I think there was chat, and I'd put it no more strongly than that, that Ed Miliband was apparently, none of this would ever have appeared to anyone, it was just gossip, but apparently there was chat that even then the Department for Energy were much more minded to approve Jack Dorn and Rosebank but for me I think they have to approve both and I think generally when it comes to energy you know I think not only would we approve Jack Dorn and Rosebank but actually we have to remove that barrier to new nuclear power We have to, there's a lot of investment taking place in the national credit, but I think the wider conversation about the future is maybe comes back to that point about the future for me of what does social democracy look like? Well, I think it looks different and I think it involves a lot more in the way of public and community ownership.
Joe FaganGUEST
And I think that going forward, I think energy policy has to be different.
Michael MarraGUEST
Yeah, I agree.

This marks the first time Iran affiliated actors have actually succeeded in taking a UK energy facility completely offline.
speaker_0HOST
The UK's Department for Energy Security did confirm the incident occurred, though they were quick to note it was a small-scale generator and didn't threaten the wider national grid.
speaker_1HOST
Right, trying to avoid panic.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
