Startup Series: Camus Energy
This episode was previously for members only. In an effort to make important content more widely available, the audio for this episode is now available for everyone.
Camus Energy focuses on decarbonization through grid management and transformation. Existing energy grids are one-way; they are set up to get power from a set number of generator facilities to homes and businesses. Camus Energy is working towards a two-way grid, which can harness the power of local resources and flexible demand. To create a two-way grid, Camus Energy is putting into place a distribution system operator that actually works. Camus Energy's software works in three parts: situational awareness and monitoring, forecasting and control, and market services. The goal is to achieve a zero-carbon electric grid.
Camus Energy Co-Founder & CEO, Astrid Atkinson, chats with me about her background and her motivation for starting Camus Energy. I enjoyed our conversation, which covered grid management and the future of energy providers.
