In this episode, we’ll be exploring the twin and related themes of residential-scale energy storage and resilience.

Host Jon Slowe will be joined by Graham Turk from energy retailer Green Mountain Power in the USA, along with Delta-EE expert Jeremy Harrison.

In this episode, we’re looking at P2P business models in the energy sector. In the shift from old to new energy, we’re moving from 10s of large power plants to thousands, and towards millions of energy producers – or prosumers. Will customers continue to buy electricity from traditional electric retailers? Or, will businesses that connect buyers and sellers be the future? Host Jon Slowe is joined by two people at the forefront of this sector in Europe - Christian Chudoba, CEO of Lumenaza, and Lars Falch, MD of Powerpeers Connect; as well as Delta-EE expert, Alix Weil.
