In this episode, Chaberton Energy CEO Stefano Ratti explains how the company is expanding into front-of-the-meter, distribution-level battery storage by leveraging its community solar expertise to develop standalone storage, solar-plus-storage projects, and retrofits of existing solar sites. 

Active primarily in states like Maryland, Illinois, and Massachusetts, Chaberton targets markets with strong policy support and urgent grid capacity needs where distributed storage can be deployed faster than large utility-scale projects and financed through multiple revenue streams, including incentives and capacity payments.

On this week’s episode, AtlasEdge CEO Tesh Durvasula joins Madeline Sherratt to unpack the company’s European growth strategy and shifting data centre landscape.

Tesh highlights Lisbon as a key hub in AtlasEdge’s Iberian expansion, citing strong connectivity, renewable energy, and rising demand. He also explains the rationale behind the sale of nine edge data centres, as the company refocuses on larger, scalable campuses targeting hyperscalers and major enterprises.

The discussion explores growth beyond traditional FLAP-D markets, with Germany and Austria emerging as core regions, and why less saturated cities offer faster access to power and permits.

Tesh also dives into the impact of AI on infrastructure demand, the push toward localised data processing, and the key challenges facing developers - from supply chain delays to power constraints and capital discipline.
