Why are emerging economies rapidly choosing electrification over oil and gas?

In this interview, Markham Hislop speaks with Dan Walter of Ember Energy about a major shift underway in global energy systems. Across the global South, technologies like solar, electric vehicles, and heat pumps are no longer just climate solutions—they are often the cheapest and most practical energy options available.

The conversation explores how falling costs have triggered a tipping point, why decentralized energy (like balcony solar) is spreading, and how electrification is bypassing traditional grid constraints. It also examines the role of disruptive innovation, drawing on Clayton Christensen’s theory to explain how “good enough” technologies are reshaping entire energy systems.
