Andrew Bowman from Jupiter Power

Jupiter Power is shaking up the Texas energy game with massive battery storage projects, and we got the inside scoop straight from the top. From wrangling too much wind power in West Texas to running nine projects that pump out 1,500 megawatt-hours a day, they’re proving storage is the real MVP of the grid. We talk about building the company from scratch, the chaos and rewards of entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to raise the kind of money that turns a wild idea into real impact. Throw in some sharp takes on AI, electrification, and the bottlenecks holding back renewables, and you’ve got one hell of a conversation. Click here to watch a video of this episode.
