Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 101 - Unpacking clean energy procurement with Nayel Brihi, BloombergNEF
Q: From the report, what is the significance of the 49 percent share held by the big four buyers, and how is deal size evolving?
The big four have long been dominant in corporate energy procurement, but the current trend shows not just continued dominance in volumes but a shift toward larger, more complex deals, including nuclear and baseload power arrangements, signaling a maturing market with deeper commitments beyond simple solar/wind PPAs.
Episode 99 - A hyperscale competition with Damien Lucas, Scaleway
Q: Is there any fragmentation within EU countries as well? Is there any difference between, say, France's regulations and those in Germany?
The fragmentation in Europe is real, with multiple certifications (SecNum Cloud in France, HCM in Italy, C5 in Germany) that create a heavy certification load to cover the EU. Scaleway argues for quicker, more efficient processes and regional alignment to reduce this burden and facilitate faster scaling across Europe.
Bonus episode - Can enhanced geothermal power the AI boom? With Cindy Taff, Sage Geosystems
Q: Before we jump into the conversation, can you give us an overview of how you came to be CEO of Sage Geosystems and what led you into geothermal energy?
Cindy Taff outlines a 35-year career in oil and gas, rising to VP of unconventional wells, developing cost estimates for next-generation geothermal, and deciding to apply those skills to build Sage Geosystems with co-founders Levering and Lance Cook, driven by a fascination with geothermal and the belief in all-of-the-above energy solutions.
Episode 98 - Insuring uptime with Jonathon Hatzor, Parametrix
Q: How has demand for SLA insurance evolved with the growth of hyperscalers and new data-center builds?
Demand has accelerated dramatically in the last year due to increasing data-center demand and the need for long-term institutional capital; insurance helps de-risk assets and attract large-scale investors by offering a bond-like, low-risk profile with better financing terms.
Episode 98 - Insuring uptime with Jonathon Hatzor, Parametrix
Q: How would you describe the core objective when designing an insurance product for data centers?
We prioritize matching the SLA terms as closely as possible within the policy, ensuring there are no gaps between the contract and the insured service-level obligations, and we tailor coverage to encompass various SLA breaches while excluding what the SLA excludes.
