About

Power engineer · electricity-markets practitioner

I have designed the market framework for a gigawatt-scale interconnector and helped bring storage to market at Tesla. My work centres on electricity markets, and I bring that mix of engineering, economics and policy to the people building and financing the energy transition, from a single storage project to a cross-border interconnector.
