Are our pensions based on finance models which are broken? Is our obsession with growth an outdated experiment - that has gone wrong? Is now the time for us to imagine and build a new 'asset based' economy? Fraser gives us all reason to pause for thought. Produced by @IAmTheHow

Tom's insight from his first hand negotiations at Paris 2015 tee-up our expectations for Glasgow COP26 with a message of respectful balance between the "blah blah blah" and the turning wheels of politics, as we all travel along the highway to change. Produced by @IAmTheHow

How future energy scenarios require us to balance investment and consumer demand along with the role of flexibility. A How Production for Argand Solutions, @IAmTheHow

Are green investment funds effective or do they just make us feel better? Understanding primary and secondary markets may seem irrelevant to the average investor, but it's vital that we learn more and take part in the conversation. A How Production for Argand Solutions, @IAmTheHow

The pandemic shows us that behavioural change is not enough to meet carbon targets; we have to get clever about being smart. A How Production for Argand Solutions, @IAmTheHow

'The social cost of carbon' debate between scientists and economists has been running for years, but it's now firmly back on the table; Fraser steers us through some of the complexities. A How Production @IAmTheHow

Why renewable investment opportunities should model for environmental impact in addition to financial return. Fraser talks us through the complexities of the energy markets. A How Production @IAmTheHow

We hear Fraser's thoughts on how the US Election, Covid-19 and the world economy may give us all some reasons to be cheerful. A How Production @IAmTheHow

What can we learn from the Covid-9 crisis that may apply to the climate crisis? 

As corporate and industrial businesses seek zero / low carbon power alternatives the case for linking existing & new generation with localised demand assets via private wires is increasing, but there are many areas to consider along the way. A How Production for Argand Solutions.

The Electric Vehicle revolution is coming... but how can you measure your energy data and provide the analysis for sound investment decisions? A How Production for Argand Solutions.

"We are now in a position where we can utilise renewable power generation and we can use it predictably, so why do we continue to look at the forms of generation that are detrimental to our environment." Rob Miles - CEO Immersa. Here we tackle some of the big questions around energy independence: how will technology affect the grid and the what is the outlook in a subsidy free landscape? This is a must for every person who has an interest in the future of renewable energy. Produced by iamthehow.

Using modern control technology to simply switch off non critical assets at expensive times can result in significant returns within 1 or 2 years. While distributed generation and storage remain a crucial part of overall energy strategy, switching provides a simple and cost effective approach to energy management that beats many other investments in renewables... the challenge is working out how to get started; this is where we help with our energy audit. Produced by iamthehow.

The cost of energy storage systems is falling largely as a result of Flexibility Markets which are driving opportunities for investment and new revenue streams, but it's a complicated picture: volatile pricing, variable tariffs & battery technology result in risk. How can you assess this complexity and achieve investment clarity? Fraser and Alistair explain how GridMAP with market facilitation works to mitigate risk for a clear strategy for your energy storage. Produced by iamthehow.

With increasing offers for businesses to take a free battery you need to know if this is a good idea, but there are many factors to consider. Argand have a 3 step process to help you get the right answer; GridMAP models your energy profile data with potential export revenues and combines this to reveal the overall effect when battery storage is included in the mix. Fraser Durham: "There's a story out there that energy generation and storage doesn't make sense. That's wrong: it does." Produced by iamthehow.

With energy demand increasing, emission targets in place and a grid that is under pressure, the case for renewable generation is clear and energy storage is a vital part of the mix. But is now the right time to invest? It's a complex mix of technology, tariffs and financing; we could all benefit from some clarity. Join Fraser as he explains how Argand are modelling complex data to present you with the clear options, so that you can easily communicate the best choice to your customers. Produced by iamthehow.

We've heard it said: "If the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow there will not be enough power, so we have to rely on non-renewable sources for energy." But is this the full picture? And if so, how is technology changing the way that we look at generation, storage, distribution and investment?  Join Alastair Gets, Analytics Engineer at Argand Solutions in this podcast to find out how Argand Solutions drives value from data to tackle some of these complex questions. Produced by iamthehow.
