In this episode, we unpack the power of smart microgrids — local energy systems that let businesses generate, store, and control their own energy. From solar and heat pumps to turning cocoa shells into fuel, discover how smart energy use can slash costs, cut carbon, and boost profits.

We share real-world stories, including a chocolate factory that transformed waste into energy and saved 96% on gas. If you’re in manufacturing, finance, or just curious about the future of energy, this one’s for you.
