Listen "Episode 12: A new energy era - how households can help balance the grid AND get paid for it"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, our podcast host, Russell Goldsmith, chats with Alex Schoch, who heads up our global flexibility team, and Devrim Celal, the CEO of Octopus’ flexibility technology arm KrakenFlex about how to unlock the untapped resource of household flexibility.
It’s clear – we’re entering a new era of energy in which households are moving from passive off-takers to active enablers of a smarter, greener and cheaper grid. For the first time ever, UK’s National Grid this winter is offering a new service to households, allowing them to reduce their usage during times of peak demand and get paid for it.
Alex and Devrim explain how the scheme works and what other innovations we are working on to build the smart grid of the future.
