In this episode of the REM Podcast, host Tom Essex speaks with Francisco Díez Quiralte, former Global Head of Business Development at Zelestra.

Francisco’s career spans three continents, having originated large-scale renewable energy projects across Spain, Germany, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, India and more.

They talk about:

• How he built a 100+ person team across Latin America from scratch
• Competing with global players like Enel and ENGIE, winning hybrid auctions
• Why India is years ahead of Europe in designing truly dispatchable renewables
• What Spain could have learned from Chile’s early grid failures
• What he misses about the chaos of a global career, and what he’s building next
