Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

249. Can businesses really cut energy costs with on-site solar and storage?
Q: How does policy and regulation affect deployment in Europe, particularly in the UK?
Policy can inadvertently discourage distributed generation by subsidizing grid purchases; streamlining grid connection processes and planning could accelerate deployment and make it easier for customers to adopt on-site solutions.
249. Can businesses really cut energy costs with on-site solar and storage?
Q: What barriers do customers face, and how does Wattstor address them?
Barriers include internal inertia, complexity, and grid connection issues. Wattstor addresses these by simplifying the pitch, financing and installing the system, and offering a straightforward cost-focused proposition with long-term certainty.
249. Can businesses really cut energy costs with on-site solar and storage?
Q: How long are Wattstor contracts, and how do you structure the price protect tariff?
Contracts have commonly been 25 years, with options for 10–25 years. The tariff has three parts: a fixed charge, a discounted day-ahead variable, and a price cap that stays fixed for the contract duration, delivering long-term cost certainty.
249. Can businesses really cut energy costs with on-site solar and storage?
Q: What is Wattstor's role in the procurement, installation, and ongoing management of these on-site energy systems?
Wattstor offers an end-to-end solution: they supply, finance, install, and operate and maintain the on-site energy systems, presenting a simple contract to customers while handling the underlying complexity.
247. What’s next for EVs, flexibility and heat? What 200+ conversations reveal
Q: What would you want from a future guest to really drill into energy policy and brave trade-offs?
The host hints at wanting a government leader (president/prime minister) who could articulate clear energy policy goals and the political trade-offs involved.
