Talking New Energy · 249. Can businesses really cut energy costs with on-site solar and storage? · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

You spoke about the kind of three territories you're already in and looking to expand that.

Could you just talk a little bit more about the role that you see for distributed energy across the energy transition in Europe?

What's the momentum that you're seeing in various markets across Europe?

You made the point there just about resilience as well.

I was interested just to find out how the tone of any conversation has changed with customers or potential customers over the last sort of six, 12 months, given the volatility in gas and electricity prices.

How has that kind of changed your conversations?

The other point I just wanted to really dig into, me and you are sitting here in the UK, but many people listening will be in other European states, for example.

How are you finding the kind of operating in multiple territories?

Are there big differences across different markets?

You mentioned Czech Republic, Germany and the UK.

Are there big challenges or big differences in those markets?

Interesting on that.

I really just know there's differences across kind of clients, right?

There's a certain market more prepared and ready for the sorts of solutions that you're providing.

And you're seeing that's maybe easier in certain territories than others.

Or actually, perhaps different drivers or business cases, maybe one country is more worried about the energy security and volatility, others around price or the green low carbon part of it.

Selfishly then, because I'm sitting in the UK and this is the main focus of my area of expertise, one thing that kind of unlocked faster progress of flexibility, decentralized energy resources in the UK, whether that's policy or market design or customer engagement, is there anything where you're really hoping to see a change or anything that you would want to advocate for?

I feel like many conversations I have in the UK often comes around to planning and quick elections at the moment as one of the big barriers of the transition and the development, particularly in the UK with a focus around decarbonisation by 2030.

Stefan, thank you very much.

And that brings us to the end of today's episode.
