Missing Link Founder Richard Mulholland and Managing Director Sam Leontsinis joined host Daniel Litwin to outline the business of presentation skills and how the self-described “Presentation Powerhouse” is helping people around the globe remain agile in the face of remote demands and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Missing Link offers “CloudCrew,” a remote, dedicated “backstage” crew for online events, a presentation studio aimed at crafting strategic and memorable presentations, an academy designed to teach key presentation skills, and a three-month, “Story-to-Stage” program ready to elevate interested speakers to a professional level.

Mulholland, a former rock and roll roadie for the likes of Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, has leveraged that background in growing Missing Link into one of the world’s most influential presentation companies.

Specifically, a lack of work in putting on concerts in South African winters led to a discovery of a new passion.

“I went to my boss and I said, ‘Hey, what happens if we start doing some stuff with the conference market in the offseason?’,” he said. “I would sell to these CEOs. I would be like, ‘I can turn you into Iron Maiden. At your conference, you’re going to be like a rock star.’”

However, Mulholland quickly learned that, no matter how good the lighting and other ancillary trimmings, a bad presentation is a bad presentation. Thus, Missing Link was born to fill a need.

The company has been elevating people’s presentation skills for more than 20 years, and that’s equipped them for a time, now, where vocal leadership in business is more sought-after than ever before, there are more “stages” than there have ever been, and COVID-19 has forced organizations around the world to reckon with establishing a powerful remote and digital presence.

U.S. grid batteries are set to top 100 GW by 2028, changing peak prices

U.S. grid batteries are set to top 100 GW by 2028, changing peak prices

U.S. utility-scale battery storage reached nearly 52 GW of nameplate capacity by June 2026 after adding 8.3 GW in the first six months of the year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The same EIA planning data shows 54 GW more is planned for the second half of 2026 through 2028, including 14 GW in the second half of 2026, 26 GW in 2027, and 14 GW in 2028. pv magazine USA reports total national operational storage capacity is expected to pass 105 GW by the end of 2028. Solar photovoltaic plants host the largest battery storage capacity units, including AES’ Bellefield Solar and Energy Storage Farm in California and Florida Power & Light’s Manatee Solar Energy Center in Florida, according to EIA.

  • 01The planning benchmark that matters for 2027 to 2028 contracts: EIA’s reported pipeline implies U.S. battery nameplate capacity could roughly double from ~52 GW to ~106 GW by end of 2028 if schedules hold.
  • 02Storage penetration is becoming a pricing question, not a technology question. pv magazine USA points to ERCOT growing from 15 GW (2025) to 37 GW (end of 2027), a level that could alter who sets the marginal price in evening peaks and how much capacity value peakers retain.

NuScale and Nucor’s SMR talks put “always-on” power back in industrial planning

NuScale and Nucor’s SMR talks put “always-on” power back in industrial planning

NuScale Power and Nucor signed an MOU to explore co-locating NuScale VOYGR small modular nuclear reactor plants near Nucor electric arc furnace steel mills, including studies of site suitability, transmission interconnection capability, and capital costs, according to POWER Magazine. The move lands as commercial and industrial energy buyers are re-evaluating “return quality” across distributed energy resource value stacks, a dynamic pv magazine USA illustrated with Massachusetts electricity rates rising to about 20.9 cents/kWh for commercial customers in 2024, up roughly 61% from 2014. At the same time, grid-facing flexibility is getting practical attention, with Renewable Energy World’s Factor This reporting on managed EV charging and vehicle-to-grid reforms needed to scale V2X. For operators, the implication is clear: “firm” electricity is no longer a single procurement lane, it’s a portfolio decision spanning on-site generation, grid programs, and controllable load.

  • 01The operational question behind the NuScale-Nucor MOU is not “nuclear vs renewables,” it’s whether a mill can secure 24/7 power with a permitting and interconnection path that matches expansion timelines (POWER Magazine).
  • 02A useful benchmark for C&I energy planning: Massachusetts average commercial electricity rates rose from roughly 13.0 cents/kWh in 2014 to 20.9 cents/kWh in 2024, well above the 2024 national commercial average of about 13.9 cents/kWh (pv magazine USA, citing EIA data).
  • 03Managed EV charging and V2X are shifting from pilots to policy and tariff design work, which means facilities with fleet electrification can treat charging as a dispatchable asset only if their utility and program rules allow it (Renewable Energy World).

GE Vernova is adding HVDC capacity as grids scramble to serve data centers

GE Vernova is adding HVDC capacity as grids scramble to serve data centers

GE Vernova is enhancing its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) capacity as part of efforts to meet increasing demand from data centers. The company is navigating challenges in project timelines caused by equipment lead times, which now dictate power-plant schedules.

  • 01GE Vernova is expanding its HVDC capacity to support increasing data center demands.
  • 02Project timelines for power plants are now dictated by equipment lead times rather than design.
  • 03GE Vernova's initiatives occur amidst growing urgency to upgrade transmission capabilities.
