The Renewable Energy Leadership Podcast
The Renewable Energy Leadership Podcast goes beyond the technology and the megawatts into the people, the decisions, and the culture behind the energy transition. Honest, unscripted conversations with the senior leaders driving the transition. Not just what they are building. How they lead. If you lead in this sector, or aspire to, this is the conversation you have been waiting for.

Most developers walk into battery storage using a solar playbook. Malaquias Encarnacion says that's exactly where projects go wrong. Storage is a different animal, and it deserves its own process, from the very first site visit through to decommissioning twenty years later.
Malaquias Encarnacion is Partner and Head of Development at Carina Energy. He led the design, construction, and commissioning of the first grid-connected lithium...
"Batteries don't generate electricity, they generate solutions," Christian Sanchez says. It's a line that gets at something real: if you're not selling energy the way a solar or wind plant does, you have to work out exactly what you are selling, and prove it to a bank.
Christian Sanchez is Head of Power Systems Engineering at TAR. At the time of this recording, he was Corporate Director of BESS and Engineering at Zelestra, where he...

Description:
What does it take to build a specialist BESS team from scratch in a market where the margin for error is almost zero? Julija Kaladžinskaitė, CEO of Best Solutions, has done exactly that, assembling a seven-person expert team across commercial, industrial, and utility-scale BESS solutions in the Baltic States, one of Europe's fastest moving energy markets.
In this conversation, we get into why she refuses to accept "it sh...
What separates the leaders who build things that last from the ones who don't? Farshid Arman has lived that question across every stage of the energy industry: from a hydrogen storage startup with no roadmap, to 13 years commercialising energy technologies at Siemens, to VP of VPP Operations at AutoGrid, to founding FlexEnergi, a capacity-as-a-service business serving utilities across the US and Canada.
In this conversation, we talk...
What does it actually take to build a renewable energy team where nobody leaves?
