Battery storage, lancing boilers, and decentralised energy grids: a Decent way to manage your electricity, with Tom Cox and Sally Sattary (Decent Energy)
Joining us for this episode are Tom Cox and Sally Sattary co-founders of Decent Energy.
They have a software startup borne of a retrofit experience that did not meet its homeowner expectations, a proprietary software that works to maximise the value of battery storage to improve two key metrics: reducing cost of electricity and reducing the carbon intensity of the energy you do use.
There's a bunch of chat about the potential of decentralised energy management to help people in all sorts of ways, from reducing one's individual impact to helping the grid cope with occasionally, dangerously abundant renewable energy—an issue which costs every household something like £40 per year, just to turn off the generation facility let it overload the grid.
Anyway, there's loads in there. You can find Decent Energy, Tom, and Sally in all the usual places (links below).

We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.
