How to make a market for distributed energy flexibility

Distributed energy resources are everywhere, but connecting
buyers and sellers is a coordination nightmare; I talk with James
Johnston, whose company Piclo is tackling that problem head-on.
He explains how they’ve built a transparent, open marketplace
where utilities and other buyers can procure flexibility as a
simple commodity from a wide range of sellers. We discuss how
this model is already working in the UK and how it could allow
data centers to pay for faster grid access in the US —
potentially unlocking billions in private investment for VPPs.
