The US’ electricity system is complicated, with each of the 50 states setting its own rules for how markets work, how power is priced and who manages customer relations.But amid the complexity, Octopus Energy US sees a big opportunity to continue its UK success story across the pond and help US customers benefit from decarbonised electricity.According to Michael Lee, the CEO of Octopus Energy US, customers can be the centrepiece of a grid based around more flexible demand if the focus is on cheaper prices and rewards for joining the road to decarbonisation.He joins Watt Matter’s David Weston and Jan Rosenow to look at the company’s goal to boost customer’s involvement in the energy transition and the challenges of decarbonising the US grid.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our X accounts:Michael Lee:https://twitter.com/The_Michael_Lee?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorMichaela Holl:https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow:https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkShow notes via this link: https://foresightdk.com/wm-ep47/.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.
