In this episode, our guest is Vladimir Abdelnour, an electrical engineer and founder who transformed crisis into opportunity. He shares how Lebanon's chronic electricity shortages led to a surge in rooftop solar adoption and his creation of a smart microgrid startup that integrated diesel, solar, and grid energy. Vladimir also discusses his transition to the U.S. for a PhD in grid-edge technologies, where he explores advanced energy systems, AI for energy, and decentralized smart grid models.

From peer-to-peer energy trading and virtual power plants to AI-powered interconnection studies and the future of grid digital twins, Vladimir's journey showcases the power of innovation, resilience, and practical solutions in the global energy transition.
