In this Energy Evolution episode, we talk about how renewable energy resources played a critical role in supporting Texas' electricity grid during a recent heat wave. Our guests discuss the importance of a mix of renewable energy sources, battery storage, and reforms that will support developers and make it easier to develop renewable energy projects. Our hosts are joined by Katya Ghosh, a business strategist at Kayrros, who used satellite imagery to forecast and monitor the progress of solar capacity additions in Texas. They also talk to Michael Lee, the CEO of Octopus Energy, and Devrim Celal, the CEO of KrakenFlex, about the importance of demand response programs, which incentivize customers to reduce their energy consumption during periods of high demand and high energy prices.
Energy Evolution co-hosts Dan Testa and Taylor Kuykendall are veteran journalists with broad expertise covering the energy and mining sectors. In addition, Camellia Moors and Camilla Naschert, reporters who write about mining and power issues, are correspondents for Energy Evolution and regularly contribute to the show.
