Making Free Energy Cost Less with Omeed Badkoobeh, CEO of Yotta Solar

Most industries benefit from consistency, whether that takes its form on the demand or the supply side. What feels more consistent, reliable and available than…well, the Sun?

Most industries benefit from consistency, whether that takes its form on the demand or the supply side. What feels more consistent, reliable and available than…well, the Sun? On today’s podcast, our host sat down with the CEO and Co-Founder of Yotta Solar, Omeed Badkoobeh. Currently, our energy consumption lives off electrical grids. “The grid is the world’s largest machine. It was created over a hundred years ago and it’s always been created to flow energy in one direction, from a centralized power plant outwards to all the homes and business and suburbs,” Badkoobeh said. His company is actively working toward the perfect solution for adapting the Sun’s viable energy source into something that can make its way to those same businesses and homes. The answer may lie in how the energy is stored.

“What solar generation does is it completely changes that map. So, now, you have power coming in from many different sources, from many different rooftops. Really storage, the ability to store the solar energy, completes that picture,” Badkoobeh said. On our Energy Podcast, Badkoobeh discussed the challenges the industry faces once the energy of the Sun has been captured, the remarkable change in pricing, and how several utilities are responding to advances in solar technology with an eye to the future.

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

The energy sector is planning significant investments in grid infrastructure, with $208 billion allocated for 2025 alone. Despite such investments, data centers in regions like Northern Virginia still face prolonged waits, sometimes extending up to 14 years, for grid connections. This highlights a disconnect between planned investments and actual implementation efficiency.

  • 01$208 billion planned for grid spending in 2025.
  • 02Data centers in Northern Virginia face up to 14-year waits for connections.
  • 03Infrastructure investment isn't translating into immediate capacity improvements.

Barbados energy transition stalls between dominant incumbents and alternative pathways, study finds

Barbados energy transition stalls between dominant incumbents and alternative pathways, study finds

A 2026 academic study highlights the barriers to energy transition in Barbados, where a fossil-fuel-dependent system struggles to adapt. The study examines the existing power structure and technologies that could facilitate a shift towards sustainable energy. The findings indicate a conflict between entrenched incumbents and emerging alternative energy pathways.

  • 01Barbados's energy system remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
  • 02Incumbent energy providers resist transitioning to sustainable options.
  • 03The study identifies technologies that could help transition movement.
