This week, Austin Todd joins us to explore how data and AI are transforming the energy landscape. As a data and AI leader at Sonnen in Berlin, Austin brings a unique perspective on how cutting-edge technology is helping build smarter, greener energy systems.


We dive into the world of virtual power plants (VPPs), energy forecasting, and trading, unpacking how innovative battery storage and solar solutions are helping stabilise energy grids and lower household bills. Austin shares practical insights on dynamic tariffs, household energy management, and the role of AI in overcoming renewable energy challenges.


Finally, we look ahead to the future of sustainable energy and the critical part data will play in driving the energy transition forward.
