In this episode, Viola sits down with Sarah Merrick, founder and CEO of Ripple Energy. Ripple Energy enables individuals to collectively own large-scale wind farms and solar parks through a cooperative model, providing savings on electricity bills. 

Merrick discusses the company's unique approach, its development since 2017, and the challenges faced in engaging with developers and consumers. She highlights the importance of consumer involvement in the energy transition, Ripple’s plans for international expansion, and how the election results could be a game-changer for the cooperative ownership model.
