What\\u2019s it all about?
Flexibility. Not Yoga, but the essential tools to enable the energy transition. Too often renewable assets, energy storage and EV charging at mass are help back due to grid blockages and constraints. Flexibility in the system is required to unlock some of these blockages. We talk grid flexibility, international expansion and the road from PhD to Entrepreneur with Piclo CEO and Co-Founder James Johnston.
