At The Power Table Podcast

What if your car, solar panels, battery, and heat pump could work together to lower your bills, earn you money, and help stabilize the grid—without juggling multiple apps?

Mohsin, founder of AmpVerve, explains how AI orchestration and vehicle-to-grid technology can turn homes and fleets into intelligent energy systems.

The conversation explores how EVs, solar, batteries, HVAC, and heat pumps can work together to make electricity cleaner, more affordable, and more resilient.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the energy grid is increasingly becoming a software challenge

• How vehicle-to-grid, vehicle-to-home, and smart charging work

• What’s needed for bidirectional charging to function

• How households can charge when electricity is cheaper and export when it’s more valuable

• How flexibility markets may create new revenue opportunities for homes and fleets

Mohsin also shares his path from electrical engineering and telecom to building a company at the intersection of AI, energy, data, cybersecurity, and cloud.

The discussion looks at energy equity, payback periods, real-world deployments, and the regulations and interoperability needed to scale these systems.

For anyone interested in energy, climate, AI, EVs, or the future of the grid, this episode connects the technology to the people and practical choices shaping the energy transition.

Most energy chats get stuck in policy and tech, but this episode is all about people. We’re joined by Juliette Saunders, aka Killah Jules, the windfluencer turning turbines, Instagram posts and the odd earring into tools for making energy make sense.

From electricity prices to public trust, she shows why creativity and communication are just as important as the grid. It’s smart, fun, and a reminder that the energy transition needs more than jargon — it needs voices people actually want to hear.

This episode dives into what it really takes to build a meaningful career in today’s fast-evolving energy industry. Through an honest conversation with energy consultant and Young Energy Professionals Forum co-chair Connor Innes, we explore how ambition, systems thinking, and adaptability are becoming essential tools for navigating a complex and rapidly shifting sector.

From breaking into the industry to standing out in it, the discussion unpacks practical strategies around networking, positioning, and gaining diverse experience. Connor shares how he balances full-time work, freelance projects, and entrepreneurial ventures—and why this kind of portfolio career is increasingly valuable in driving innovation and growth.

Blending practical advice with a wider perspective on policy, talent, and innovation, this is a grounded look at how to turn career ambition into real impact in the energy space.

This episode explores the hidden systems shaping our energy future, from underground cables and grid resilience to the policies holding it all together. Through candid conversations with Bavik Sing, we unpack why upgrading infrastructure is no longer optional, but essential for climate resilience, community safety, and long-term affordability.

You will hear firsthand insights from project managers working across Europe, as they break down the real challenges behind the transition—from ageing grids and urban congestion to global skills shortages and the need for international collaboration. The discussion highlights the trade-offs between cost and resilience, and why foundational grid upgrades must come before scaling renewable energy.

By connecting the technical, political, and human sides of energy, this episode offers a grounded look at what it truly takes to future-proof our systems. It is a practical, honest exploration of the decisions shaping how we power our cities, economies, and everyday lives.

At The Power Table is back, and this time we’re talking about solar energy—but not in a “save the planet, drink oat milk” kind of way. More like: how do we actually make this stuff work for real businesses, with real bills, and real hesitation?

Enter Daniel Levine, co-founder of Two Blues Solar, who’s on a mission to make solar panels less of a “nice idea” and more of a “why aren’t we doing this already?” moment. We get into the awkward truths: yes, solar can feel expensive, confusing, and slightly like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. But also—yes—it can save money, build resilience, and quietly shift the energy system while you’re busy running your business.

We talk cost fears, complexity, and why most people stall right before making the smartest decision they’ll thank themselves for later. Daniel breaks down how flexible financing, better education, and tailored solutions are turning solar from intimidating to inevitable.

If you’ve ever thought, “solar sounds great, but where do I even start?”—this one’s for you.

Pull up a chair. Let’s make the future feel a bit more doable.

In this episode of At The Power Table, former energy insider John McRitchie brings a grounded, no-nonsense perspective on the realities of the energy sector.

From affordability and security to the gap between engineering theory and what actually happens on the ground, the conversation gets into the issues that matter. John also unpacks green hydrogen in a way that cuts through the jargon and gets to the point.

In this unapologetically honest conversation, Emma Lamont — Senior Marketing Manager at Energy Voice and certified master of turning jargon into something you actually want to read — unpacks her unexpected dive into the energy world. She makes the case for storytelling as the industry’s secret superpower and community as its beating heart. Between championing Women in New Energy and rallying the Women’s Energy Network Alliance, Emma doesn’t just talk diversity — she lives it, mascara smudges and all. Expect candid reflections on inclusion (the kind that go beyond a hashtag), reflections on International Women’s Day, and bold ideas for redesigning the energy landscape — this time, with everyone invited.

We invited the woman who usually sits behind the glass to sit at the table.

Chloe, studio manager at Haven Talk Studios and full-time energy consumer, has no industry background, no policy credentials, and absolutely no interest in pretending otherwise. She just pays the bills, hears all the podcasts, and has questions that make energy people deeply uncomfortable (in the best way).

In this episode, she:

• ​ Asks the “wait, but why?” questions most consumers never get to ask out loud
• ​ Calls out the confusing, the patronising, and the overcomplicated
• ​ Shares what actually lands with “normal people” when they hear us talk about the energy transition

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt too “unqualified” to have an opinion on energy, and for every energy professional who secretly wonders what consumers really think when the mics stop recording.

Ever wondered what happens when empathy meets innovation in the energy sector? Feyi dives right in — unpacking how human-centered thinking can shape the future of energy, from communities on the ground to algorithms in the cloud. She gets candid about AI’s rising role (yes, even the “agentic” kind), reminding us that responsibility has to evolve just as fast as technology does.

Along the way, she unpicks why diversity isn’t just a nice-to-have but essential, and what future-ready skills we’ll actually need. Her closing message?

Stay curious, stay open — the best career paths are rarely straight lines.

In this high-energy episode, Yasmin Ali, chartered chemicalengineer, author of Power Up, and Team Lead at RWE, takes us on a whirlwind tour through the world of energy, communication and careers with a dash of fun and a lot of heart. She unpacks her unconventional journey into thesector, how storytelling can transform public perception of energy infrastructure, and why engineering education needs more creativity, curiosity and real-world chaos baked in.From making work fun without losing the plot, to tackling the skills gap and thorny challenges of the energy transition, Yasmin shares candid lessons for the next generation of engineers who want impact, not just job titles. And yes,she also spills the tea on a so-called “secret society” along the way…
