In this episode, we have an interesting discussion with Rob Ashdown. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Clean Energy Transfer Fund (CETF), a company with the focus on realising the competitive advantage of renewable and clean energy in the energy mix within Australia. They concentrate on the National Electricity Market, taking a position on wind and battery energy storage projects. Rob shares his personal and professional journey into climate change markets and marketing that led him to start CETF, the strategies they use in the company, some hedge fund technicalities, and fun personal stories. Rob is also a member of my Champions’ Forum and shared his experiences with the group on this episode. What are Rob's current professional responsibilities? Rob runs a hedge fund called Clean Energy Transfer Fund "The anchor bias that a lot of people have is that renewables are expensive. Renewables are uncertain, renewables come with a lot of uncertainty and therefore cannot form a majority of the electricity mix within Australia." According to Rob, solar and wind have a cost competitiveness where they can deliver power more cheaply and more effectively than what thermal can. Rob humorously shared the story of how he came to decide which course in the university to take. He also shared how he came to decide on focusing on climate change markets. Rob shared how he loves finding problems and working on them to generate a solution. "Always show up and always deliver. So if you shake someone's hand, deliver constantly and treat people well, right. And do the best that you can." When Rob went to the UN Climate Change Conference, he was recruited by a large coal mining company that had a new energy team and recruited him to manage that project. At this time, he moved back to South Africa, worked on wind projects initially, then to solar, and then started to expand out into gas, imported LNG projects, and coal-fired power station projects as well. "I've now got my problems. And I now have to find ways to solve them. I've got people around me to help me, to help deliver on the solution. So I couldn't be happier. It's challenging." What are some of the problems that Rob hopes to solve? Where would Rob like to see the business in five years time? Rob envisions CETF to evolve from just a pure hedge fund to having at least a second or third fund established by that time. He also envisions the company to have an infrastructure equity component to it. "This fund would see us with at least 700 to a gigawatt of capacity under management with a significant battery portfolio as well, and providing services to the market." Why does Rob think he's been able to stay the course when a lot of people would have quit? "My biggest critic is myself. Working within your own mindset to get your mind in the right way and looking after your emotional state is, I find, probably the most important skills that I've picked up in building these." What does Rob see as some of the benefits of being involved in the Champions’ Forum? "It's not a traditional business get-together or networking event. You're able to talk and share and have discussions that traditionally I find are really hard to have." Rob shared that he finds the Champions’ Forum an event where leaders and other people share and deal with their problems from different industries and backgrounds, and you can boil it down.

I'm a Political Woman & I Vote! What I mean is, I like Democracy, I like watching the political process, I like voting. So this should be one of my favorite years. 2020 is a Presidential Election year, and it is also the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment which gives women the right to vote. And we DO Vote! Women vote in higher numbers than men and have done so in every election since 1964. In 2016, 9.9 million more women than men voted. This information is from the "Center for American Women in Politics." Not only will Americans vote on for a new or old president this year, but we will also decide which US Congressmembers get to keep their jobs. That includes all the members of the US House of Representatives and One-Third of the Senate. If you are thrilled with the way the country is being run, then you can ignore my new series called “Political Woman.” If you are hoping for a change, then watch, listen, subscribe, and VOTE!
