Episode description

The flexibility of batteries goes beyond their ability to be deployed at short notice. Their compact and scalable nature means they can be easily transported to areas of temporary demand. Where a diesel generator would traditionally be used - a battery take its place.

• How Skoon have addressed some of the key challenges that come with building a marketplace.

• The process of stimulating both sides of the marketplace to balance supply and demand.
• Why providing additional value points is a vital strategy to increase the value of the platform.
• The ways in which mobile batteries can support grid services during periods of congestion.
• and much, much more.
