How is the global energy transition reshaping the way businesses approach sustainability? In this episode, Peter Kelly-Detwiler unpacks the challenges and opportunities in decarbonization, grid modernization, and renewable energy integration. Drawing on decades of experience and insights from his book, The Energy Switch, and upcoming work, A Matter of Degrees, Peter shares how companies can adapt to the evolving energy landscape. From understanding energy market dynamics to investing in storage solutions and sustainable technologies, this discussion offers actionable advice for staying competitive and profitable in a carbon-conscious world.
