Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Siemens Director to Founder: Farshid Arman on Falling in Love With the Problem & Building Businesses That Last.
Q: Why is now the right time for this approach?
Capacity shortfalls are increasing due to weather, transmission and generation constraints, and current policies are impacting wind and gas projects; the ecosystem is ripe for a service model that aligns incentives with actual grid needs.
From Siemens Director to Founder: Farshid Arman on Falling in Love With the Problem & Building Businesses That Last.
Q: What problem are you solving at FlexEnergi?

Q: For people who don't know you, could you share a little bit about what you're doing at the moment at BESS Solutions?
