This latest episode of Infra Dig centres on energy efficiency, energy security and grid shocks… an increasingly important issue given developments earlier this year.  

IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville speaks to Jonathan Maxwell, chief executive of Sustainable Development Capital (SDCL) about the substation fire that knocked out Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 and the power outage across Spain and Portugal.  

While this was headline news across Europe – and considerably further afield – earlier this year (2025), this episode focuses on the causes of each power outage and how this can be mitigated against.
