Infra Dig - A Green Street Podcast
The Infra Dig Podcast, formerly The IJGlobal Podcast, from Green Street Infrastructure’s editorial team, digs deep into the finance, procurement, delivery, and operation of infrastructure and energy projects around the world.
The focus ranges from the project finance behind greenfield developments to major M&A activity and the evolving dynamics within the infrastructure fund community. If it shapes the global infrastructure and energy landscape, you’ll hear about it here.

Infra Dig – Interconnectors with Hitachi Energy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Interconnectors are shooting up the news agenda as markets increasingly seek to achieve energy security and today’s Infra Dig podcast turns the focus on a sector where understanding needs to ramp up significantly.
In a new style of podcast – presented by IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville – the mission is to explain “how it works”… and to that end we introduce Niklas Persson, managing director of the Hitachi Energy unit grid integration business, who has deep history in the interconnector space.
This style of podcast – explaining how things work before looking at the wider market – is driven by an established belief that many people who lend to projects or acquire assets often have paper-thin understanding of how the underlying asset actually works.
To this end, Niklas runs through his sector, explaining what interconnectors are and how they work, before moving on to HVDC and the key role it plays in transmitting energy over long distances. Conversation then moves on to the wider market, briefly discussing some projects that Hitachi Energy is delivering.
