The US energy market is complex, fragmented, heavily regulated, and dominated by legacy systems that make innovation difficult. Yet in that complexity lies opportunity. As the energy transition accelerates, retailers are rethinking what it means to serve customers and how technology can deliver cleaner, smarter, and more affordable power at scale.
In this episode of Transmission, Quentin is joined by Nick Chaset, CEO of Octopus Energy US, about how the company is bringing its UK model stateside and what it takes to adapt it to the realities of the American market.
We explore how Octopus is using technology to create customer-centric energy products, how flexibility can unlock system-wide efficiency, and why retail innovation might be the key to accelerating decarbonisation.
• Why legacy retail models are holding back customer innovation in energy
•The barriers and opportunities of transforming complex electricity markets
• How flexible tariffs and technology can empower consumers to shape demand
•The role of digital platforms in building smarter, more dynamic energy systems
• What the US can learn from global examples of customer-led decarbonisation
