‘Why I am a Energy Transition Optimist’ – Prof Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at the University of Oxford the University of Oxford, where he leads the 34-person Energy Programme at the Environmental Change Institute. Jan’s research focuses on energy demand, energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy, and broader energy and climate policy, with a strong emphasis on the practical implementation of decarbonisation strategies. He has published widely cited academic papers, technical reports, and policy analyses, contributing to key discussions on the energy transition. Jan has been recognised by Stanford University’s database of the top 2% most cited scientists worldwide.
‘Public Power: Toward a New Social Contract for the Cost of Living Crisis’ – Dr Donal Brown, senior researcher in energy policy and political economy specialising in the governance and financing of the low-carbon transition, at the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford. Donal’s research examines how the structure of energy markets, ownership models, and financial institutions shape the speed, cost and legitimacy of the energy transition. His work spans electricity market design, the financing of renewable energy infrastructure, and the institutional frameworks required to deliver large-scale retrofit of existing housing. Much of his recent work explores how alternative market and governance arrangements could reduce the cost of decarbonisation while improving energy security and public legitimacy.
