I am a freelance multi-platform journalist, researcher and analyst. I'm a former BBC World Service broadcast producer with a love of radio, audio production and writing. I’m interested in the intersection of politics, economics and people. I’ve reported from Africa, Asia and the Middle East but this project is much closer to home.

My Fellowship is focused on the European electricity grid and decarbonisation. The European grid is the largest electricity transmission and distribution network in the world, linking all of our countries together via a vast web of cables. The way that we consume, produce and distribute energy is changing rapidly and will have a major impact on people’s lives. As we move towards smart grids, batteries, time of use tariffs and two-way transmission, there’s a risk that many people could become disenfranchised.

I want to learn how other countries address these problems, whether through policy or innovation, to bring the issues into the open and drive a more public and inclusive conversation.
