Hey everyone, Tom Raftery here, and I'm excited to share this latest episode of the Climate Confident podcast! In today's conversation, we're diving deep into the energy transition and decarbonisation of the electricity grids with our guest Gareth Evans, CEO of energy transition platform Veckta.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The vital role microgrids play in decentralizing power and their impact on energy resilience
  • How Veckta's platform empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions in their energy transition journey
  • The concept of prosumers and their role in driving the circular economy and sustainable communities
  • Real-life examples of communities and businesses harnessing the power of renewable energy, such as the Austrian solar power plants and VB brewery in Australia
  • The importance of turning climate commitments into action, and how Veckta is supporting businesses in their efforts to reduce emissions while staying profitable

I truly enjoyed my conversation with Gareth, so grab a cup of your favorite beverage, sit back, and join us as we explore the future of energy and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Or watch it on YouTube here.
