My work on Big Tech's role in the energy transition got second place in the Social Sciences section of the Deutscher Studienpreis! I'm grateful that as a non native speaker Germany still offers such opportunities - and excited to keep working on this and more energy politics topics 🔌💡

New requirements will apply to batteries but could be expanded to other green sectors

Yes, the duck curve is getting deeper, BUT look at 2023 above 2022. Why is that? More demand-supply coordination through demand flexibility. That's the future, and will be broadened and deepened through combo of more meaningful price signals + automation. 🔌💡 EnergySky
