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.

Writing

Commentary on the Cyprus electricity market

I write, usually in Greek, about how Cyprus prices and runs its electricity system: competition and the Single Buyer, renewables and curtailment, storage, carbon and prices.

Featured · Jun 2026

The solution is right in front of us: energy storage

Storage is the fastest, most competitive answer to Cyprus's prices and adequacy, so why is it being kept hostage to procedures, delays and conflicts of roles?
