In this episode, the team unpacks the impact of President Trump’s return to office on the energy transition, including the suspension of funding for renewable projects under the Inflation Reduction Act and a broader rollback of Biden-era climate policies. We ask what this and other policy shifts will mean for 2025 and beyond.
We dive into more US news, including Kona Energy’s ambitious battery energy storage plans in Texas and Hydrostor’s advanced compressed air energy storage project in California.
We also deliver an in-depth analysis of Northvolt’s journey, tracing the gigafactory developer’s meteoric rise and dramatic fall, as well as the implications for Europe’s electric vehicle ambitions.
