The New Scientist Colab Podcast Sponsored by Octopus Energy
We’ve teamed up with The New Scientist to explore the future of energy and how we’re helping to flip the traditional power grid on its head.
In this episode, The New Scientist’s Justin Mullins is joined by Kieron Stopforth, Head of Flexibility at Octopus Energy, to chat about the radical changes happening in the way we generate, store and use electricity. From solar panels on your roof to the car on your driveway, discover how your home could play a vital role in powering a greener and cheaper future.
