Structuring For Success!

This week on REM Rewind, Tom Essex pulls two episodes from the Season 1 archive that were recorded months apart but tell opposite sides of the same story.Laurens van Ochten is Head of BESS at R.Power, where he oversees a centralised team across six European countries. He breaks down how grid access works differently across each market, why Germany's ultra-easy access quietly flooded the system with paper projects that never got built, and how R.Power structured its BESS operation to stay ahead of the curve.Carlo Toic is COO and co-founder of SOL-R Global, a real estate investment company operating inside the renewable energy industry. He makes the case that IPPs should never own land, explains why mixing real estate and energy on the same balance sheet kills your IRR, and draws a direct parallel to what already happened in the telco sector.Two guests who never sat in the same room, solving the same fundamental problem from completely different directions. The infrastructure beneath the infrastructure is where renewable energy projects quietly succeed or fail. This episode is about exactly that.Full solo episodes for both Laurens and Carlo are in the back catalogue.Renewable Energy Movement Podcast — Powered by Kigyo.
