ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Energypreneurs is a podcast that brings solar power, electric vehicles and battery technologies to young entrepreneurs. Sohail Hasnie, our host, is a firm believer that the solution to climate change lies in these technologies, which will also fundamentally change the way we think about electricity and transportation—on road, on water and even on air.
Over the last 35 years, Sohail has applied technology and innovation in many large infrastructure projects across Australasia. As a staff of the Asian Development Bank since 2001, he has developed large investment projects with solar power, battery, and electric vehicles across Asia.

![Why Is Half Your Power Bill Paying for Poles and Wires? |Ep 246| Grant McDowell [Re-edited]](https://cdn-images-3.listennotes.com/podcasts/energypreneurs/why-is-half-your-power-bill-n82Swr_hMyq-Zkivn8zYCDl.450x450.jpg)
In 2006 Grant McDowell had a shady roof in Marrickville and an idea: put the panels on a solar farm somewhere sunny, and match that energy to your house every half hour. He patented it in 2007. Eighteen years later, Plenitude in Italy is advertising it on TV as Adopt a Panel. Households pay €3 or €…

Can you leave the grid? A couple of houses in the middle of Townsville already have. But Steve Blume, who has been banging on about load duration curves for forty years, thinks almost nobody will — because you can't buy 99.99% reliability at home at any sensible price. He calls the grid the Medicar…

Western Australia sends almost a billion tonnes of iron ore offshore every year. Ray Wills wants it to leave as green iron instead — and to make that, he says, WA needs about 500 gigawatts of energy. Its grid today is around 10. That sounds insane. Ray's answer: it is only insane on an Australian s…
![Why Were the Clean-Up Boats Polluting the River? |Ep 277| Sanyuktha, Clearbot [Re-edited]](https://cdn-images-3.listennotes.com/podcasts/energypreneurs/why-were-the-clean-up-boats-k_iQBP4WIrb-7ewHMitd2VU.450x450.jpg)
Clearbot started because its founders watched people on big diesel boats trying to fish rubbish out of rivers with pool nets — polluting more than they were collecting, with a man half over the side reaching for the trash. So they built the electric version: remote-controlled, solar-charged boats t…
Australia now has around half a million home batteries, thanks to the federal Cheaper Home Batteries program. Almost none of them can be dispatched. Glenn Dahlenburg puts it at 90 to 95% that no retailer can control, because customers don't want anyone else touching their battery. Glenn spent twent…
![Bigger Than Snowy 2.0, Parked in Our Driveways | Ep 338 | Portia Rooney [Re-edited]](https://cdn-images-3.listennotes.com/podcasts/energypreneurs/bigger-than-snowy-20-parked-lQsErHtwfhR-Rc5Ze3-1t_C.450x450.jpg)
By the early 2030s, the aggregated battery capacity of Australia's EV fleet is expected to exceed Snowy Hydro 2.0. Not approach it — exceed it. And unlike Snowy, it's already being paid for, by people buying cars.
Portia Rooney has spent three years working on bidirectional charging in Australia, …
Simon English has spent 15 years inside Australia's electricity distribution networks, and he's been asking them an awkward question: what actually counts as an outage now? With hundreds of thousands of home batteries installed, he reckons around a quarter of a million households no longer notice w…
In the last year, Karim's 40-year IT company hired zero entry-level graduates. Every job junior coders used to do, AI does now.

Disconnecting your house from the gas network costs you about $250. The gas companies say the real cost to them is $900.
