In this episode Leonard speaks with Ahmad El Mokadem from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development about how energy storage is becoming bankable in Central and Eastern Europe.
Both explores how the EBRD has shifted from post communist market building to scaling renewables, grids and battery storage, and why confidence, regulation and revenue certainty now matter more than technology.
Ahmed shares insights on storage financing, private capital mobilisation, energy security after the war in Ukraine, and what the next phase of the Central and Eastern European energy transition could look like over the coming years.
This episode is hosted, produced and edited by Leonard Müller.
