00:06Hello, thank you for being with us today always on our beautiful Cigret TV set here for Cigret
00:122024 session in Paris. We are with our new guest and this new guest, it's Andreas Schierenbeck.
00:20Hello. Hello. Thank you for being with us. You are the global CEO of Itachi Energy,
00:26one of the main topics of Cigret Paris session, as you know, is the energy transition, of course.
00:32Can you share with us your view on the accelerating clean energy transition, please?
00:38Yeah, thank you for having me. I think the energy transition is a very exciting thing.
00:43On one hand, we are dealing with growing demand of electricity. On the other hand, we are striving for a
00:49carbon-less
00:50intense energy source and that's the thing which drives us around for the next couple of years.
00:54Okay, and how do you see that companies, organizations and other stakeholders should handle the multiple drivers of the energy
01:03transition
01:04to support the urgent need for strengthening the power grid infrastructure for a sustainable energy future?
01:11Well, first of all, as we all know, we are connecting much more renewable sources, solar, offshore and onshore wind,
01:18to our grids.
01:19That brings, of course, some technical issues with volatility. On the other hand, all our customers actually dealing with kind
01:26of three things they have to balance.
01:28It's energy reliable or safety, security, affordability. You have to be able to pay for that. And, of course, sustainability.
01:36And to balance these things is a very tricky thing. You need a holistic and a local approach for that.
01:42Thank you very much. And in your opinion, what are the benefits of your participation here at the Paris Session
01:482024?
01:49What are the advantages for you?
01:51Well, I think most of our customers are here. And it's a good discussion about these things.
01:56How to balance these three pillars of the energy supply? Because you need customer-centric solutions for that.
02:03And what is a better place and the secret to discuss it with our customers and our product portfolio?
02:08What could be the best solution for them?
02:10Great. Thank you very much. And I wish you a great session here in Paris.
02:15And thank you for being with us. I'll see you for new interviews.
