Summary
In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we dive into The Crown Estate's pivotal role in the UK’s renewable energy transition. As custodians of the seabed surrounding England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, they’re powering 11 million homes with offshore wind energy. Imogen explores how their latest initiatives, like the Marine Delivery Routemap, are tackling grid bottlenecks, speeding up consents, and finding harmony between environmental conservation and renewable expansion.
Gus Jaspert, Managing Director for Marine at The Crown Estate, breaks down the UK’s energy puzzle—from wrangling stakeholders like NESO and Ofgem to resolving spatial clashes with fisheries and shipping.
With a need for over 120GW by 2030 requiring a tripling of wind energy deployment, how will the race to net-zero electricity unfold? Tune in to find out! @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Show podcast where today we've come to London to film this very special episode in person because today we're talking all things offshore wind energy. |
| 0:10.0 | Now as you may know the UK is absolutely ripe for offshore wind energy and that's why it represents over 30% of our annual electricity generation. |

| 0:34.9 | about the Crown Estate, talking about how we |
| 0:37.1 | can accelerate the deployment of offshore wind energy, how problematic grid connections are anyway, |
| 0:42.3 | and how we need to think about biodiversity in all of this as well. But first, a very |

| 1:35.7 | exactly what is the Crown Estate and then perhaps how the Crown Estate relates to offshore wind |
| 1:41.4 | energy? Yeah, definitely. So in simplest terms, the crown estates |
| 1:45.5 | is essentially the nation's company. And what I mean by that is we hold a whole host of assets |
