Baringa

The COO’s compass: Setting direction and driving impact Baringa’s COO podcast, The Rise of the COO, gives the mic to Chief Operating Officers to share their experiences, challenges, and lessons from one of the most complex leadership roles. In this episode, our host Mansi Patel speaks with Kayte O'Neill, COO at the National Energy System Operator (NESO), about how COOs can: Define their “compass” for deciding what really matters Balance real-time operations with long-term strategy Unlock organisational potential and scale impact Lead effectively while navigating complexity and competing priorities Kayte’s reflections offer practical lessons for COOs — and a rare window into what it means to lead with clarity and purpose in one of the UK’s most critical organisations. 🎧 Listen to episode 8 here: https://ow.ly/Zffy50XcyS6 Bernice McNaught Maninder Murfin Rosie (Roseanna) Wakeling #COO #Leadership #EnergyTransition #FutureOfWork #BaringaCOONetwork #NESO

Biomethane can deliver £150-220bn in cumulative savings to the UK energy system by 2050, potentially reducing the costs to deliver Net Zero by 10-20%, with production increasing to more than 100 TWh/year by 2050, a 10x increase on today. On behalf of the Green Gas Taskforce, we've launched a report assessing the opportunity for greater levels of biomethane to cost-effectively support achieving Net Zero for the UK by 2050. Biomethane, a gaseous fuel derived from biological sources that can be used as an alternative to fossil-based natural gas, could provide a low-cost option to reduce emissions and significantly contribute to UK decarbonisation. The analysis highlights how the growth of biomethane, enabled by the gas grid, can offer a pragmatic route to Net Zero and reduce pressure to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors. Without effective support to grow biomethane production in the near term, the production levels later in the pathway to 2050, that can help reach Net Zero more cost effectively, will be out of reach.

Listen and watch the first episode in new series of Energy Innovators https://ow.ly/Uebs50XbMwK. In it Baringa's Ellen Fraser and Rebecca Teasdale sit down with Sharon Johnson, Managing Director, AgilityEco, and discuss the recent study that AgilityEco commissioned Baringa to deliver ‘Turbocharging the benefits of Great Britain's emerging home energy efficiency sector.’ They explore the opportunity for energy efficiency upgrades, which could also grow the home decarbonisation sector, create jobs, and boost the economy. #EnergyInnovators #HomeEnergyEfficiency #Podcast

71% of adults think companies that prioritise online safety are more trustworthy. New research from our co-authored report with the NSPCC shows that brands prioritising child safety online are increasingly seen as trustworthy and forward-thinking. In a digital-first world, safeguarding children is becoming a core expectation - not a nice-to-have. Read our report: https://ow.ly/2QRU50XbxtQ

Japan’s energy system is at a crossroads. With fossil fuel dependency still high and energy security under pressure, the challenge is clear: how can a nation with limited domestic resources pivot to a low-carbon future?   We explore how the country is responding: bold reforms, renewables investment, and market redesign.    For energy leaders facing similar challenges, Japan’s approach offers practical lessons in balancing decarbonisation with reliability.   See how Japan is solving for a low-carbon future: https://ow.ly/NFgy50WWxGB
