Energy Unplugged by Aurora

EP.224 Rohan Ma on Battery Market Economics


Listen Later

In this episode of Energy Unplugged, we're excited to welcome Rohan Ma, the former Director of Energy Software at Tesla. Rohan joins Hugo Batten, our Managing Director for APAC, and Julia Hoos, our Head of USA East, for an insightful discussion on battery market economics.

Rohan's career has focused on the intersection of energy economics and technology. The last 8 years saw him leading the global Energy Software team at Tesla, launching initiatives like Autobidder, Tesla's Virtual Power Plant, and the company’s retail electricity program, Tesla Electric. Before Tesla, Rohan held positions at SolarCity, Pacific Gas and Electric, Clearview Energy Partners, and the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Main topics of discussion include the following:

  • How did Autobidder develop within Tesla, and what were the biggest challenges facing scaling and rolling it out internationally?
  • How do new battery markets compare to established ones, and which ones are the best for investment?
  • How will the Trump Administration potentially impact the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)?
  • Support the show
