Arch Rao is Founder and CEO of SPAN, the company behind the smart electrical panel that has expanded into utility grid management with SPAN Edge and distributed AI infrastructure with XFRA. What began as a smarter way to manage home electricity has evolved into a platform designed to digitize the electric grid, enable mass electrification, and unlock new AI compute capacity using existing residential infrastructure. In this episode of Inevitable, Rao explains why SPAN's vision has grown beyond the home electrical panel, how utilities are using software-defined power management to avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades, and why distributed AI inference could become a new class of digital utility. He also discusses the intersection of electrification, grid modernization, and AI demand, arguing that the next major energy transition is the digitization of the electric grid itself.

Send us Fan MailEpisode SummaryGuests: Zac Curtis (Innovation Lead for NextGen Home at E.ON) & Chris Bernkopf (CEO of Podero)How do you scale residential Energy as a Service (EaaS) without upfront capital? E.ON and Podero's 18-home Midlands pilot demonstrates that combining automated zero-upfront multi-asset orchestration (heat pumps, solar PV, batteries, and EV chargers) into a single 10-year fixed tariff wrapper can achieve a +56 Net Promoter Score and stable household comfort. However, scaling this model to a broader target market of 680,000 homes depends entirely on overcoming physical installation bottlenecks, correcting widespread heat pump commissioning errors, and transitioning manufacturer software platforms from standalone thermodynamic efficiency (COP) toward predictive, time-of-use cost-curve steering.Technical Insights1. The Financial Architecture of Energy as a Service (EaaS)The core financial barrier to residential grid decarbonisation is the high upfront capital cost of low-carbon assets.The E.ON NextGen Home pilot addresses this by completely eliminating initial capital expenditure for the consumer. All hardware—including Vaillant heat pumps, SolarEdge solar arrays, and home batteries—is deployed at zero upfront cost.The asset capital paydown is amortised over a 10-year term and embedded directly into a stable, single monthly fixed tariff wrapper.To mitigate risk when a homeowner relocates during the contract term, the asset value is transferred to the property valuation. The incoming buyer inherits an optimised, low-operational-bill home with the initial capital pay-down effectively cleared through the house sale.Following the 18-home proof of concept, E.ON is planning a proactive call for entries to scale up to a representative sample of over 300 homes. This next phase will target specific home archetypes and a diverse mix of consumer behaviours to stress-test the model's mass-market viability.2. Multi-Asset Software Orchestration vs. Standalone COPTraditional heating controls are built to maximise standalone thermodynamic efficiency (COP).In modern dynamic, time-of-use energy systems where wholesale electricity pricing fluctuates sharply between midday and evening peaks, maximising standalone efficiency is an outdated metric.To generate true running-cost savings, Podero's platform bypasses physical gateways to communicate via cloud APIs directly with the assets every few minutes.The software engine shifts focus toward predictive cost-curve steering by calculating the exact building energy deficits and the specific thermal deferral capacity (the duration a building envelope can safely delay or store heat load without dropping interior comfort).3. Supply Chain Quality and "Unconscious Incompetence"The deployment of automated multi-asset steering lives or dies on physical installation quality.A significant portion of the UK installation supply chain suffers from unconscious incompetence—well-meaning installers who lack the specific expertise required for low-carbon engineering.Common field errors, such as incorrect heat pump commissioning, frequently cause internal backup electric immersion heating rods to run continuously, driving up electricity consumption.Additionally, the transition of the UK heating industry into a fragmented landscape of self-employed sole traders complicates the rapid dissemination of best practices. Overcoming this requires a strict, synchronised "waterfall" installation process to handle complex asset interdependencies over a tight five-day window.4. Expanding Beyond Air-to-Water ArchetypesTo scale the EaaS framework past the initial pilot phase toward a representative market sample of 300+ homes, utilities must look beyond standard air-to-water heat pump systems.To accommodate tight mid-terraced houses and flats where external space or pipework disruption prevents traditional setups, the pilot is actively evaluating alternative low-carbon technologies.This includes compact, single-room heat pump configurations operating without external units, localised infrared matting, low-electricity radiant solutions, and smart electric boilers dedicated to domestic hot water (DHW) production.Industry Resources & LinksHost Profile: Nathan Gambling, Head of Technical Education at BetaTeach and host of the BetaTalk podcast.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Ecotrust Canada will be giving a home energy workshop at Mansons Hall on Saturday, May 2, at 1 PM. Max Thaysen, from the Cortes Climate Action Network, explained, "We've got some folks coming over from Ecotrust to talk about heat pumps and help people get some rebates going so they can potentially get 100% of heat pump install and purchase costs covered by some grants that are available. You can just contact them if you want, but if you want to learn about the program and see if it's a good fit for you, there's an in-person meeting coming up." Michael Anthony Lutfy, Ecotrust's program manager for our area, emailed that since last year, "We have worked with over 50 Cortes Island households, in large part thanks to our Cortes Island partnerships." He went on to list the organizations that were either involved or are provided funding: Cortes Climate Action Network, Cortes Housing Society, Cortes Community Forest Cooperative, Cortes Community Foundation, the Support Our Seniors Society Better at Home Program, the Cortes Community Health Association Family Support Program, and Strathcona Regional District (SRD)." In a previous interview, Lutfy said, "Once you register for our program, you'll get an email from me asking for very basic information about your home, like the age of your home and the heating system you have, After that, you will receive a phone call from me and we'll go through more questions about your home. You explain what your desires are, what challenges you're experiencing around your energy bill, and then I can help guide you toward the right rebates and the right renovations or retrofit so that you can achieve that goal." "We support households from the beginning of the process all the way to the very end when it comes to selecting contractors, following through with the rebates, ensuring that they received what was expected from the contractor. And we do financial planning, reminders, everything and anything a household needs to complete the process." Question: Are you selling anything? "We do not sell anything. Our objective is just to ensure that people are making an informed decision. I do not receive commission. I do not receive any form of financial compensation from contractors, and we do not provide leads to contractors either. We are working for the households while we help connect you with the right contractors because there are eligibility requirements around the rebate system with which contractors are allowed to use." Max added, "One of the reasons why we're excited about heat pumps is that they can help people transition off of other more polluting forms of heating. So it's great to do all the things, make your house really efficient. From a climate perspective, which is where I'm coming from, the most important thing is switching from dirty forms of energy to cleaner forms of energy."
Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Julie Staveland, Assistant Division Director for the Materials Management Division, EGLE, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy, For those who may not be familiar, what is Michigan's “Clean, Safe and Affordable” Home Energy Roadmap, and why is it important for Michigan right now? How will more energy-efficient and all-electric homes help lower monthly costs for families? The roadmap highlights major health benefits. How does the way we power our homes impact public health? What does this plan mean for Michigan's economy and job growth moving forward? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ ‘Clean, Safe, and Affordable' guide addresses health, cost savings, decarbonization A new policy roadmap lays out plans to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from Michigan's residential building sector by 2050 while creating jobs, improving safety, and lowering utility bills. And the real payoff could come in lives saved and life-threatening illnesses avoided. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) released “Clean, Safe, and Affordable: A Policy Roadmap for Efficient and All-Electric Homes in Michigan” to provide policy recommendations for energy efficiency and building electrification, charting a course to meet statewide building decarbonization goals. It's predicted to avert more than 2,800 premature deaths and nearly 39,000 asthma attacks a year, according to the Energy Policy Simulator, a publicly available modeling tool developed by Rocky Mountain Institute and Energy Innovation. The roadmap builds on the foundation established by Michigan's Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) program, which is delivering federally funded energy efficiency and electrification upgrades to income-qualified households across the state. While MiHER accelerates improvements in eligible homes today, the policy roadmap outlines long-term strategies needed to extend similar benefits across Michigan's entire housing stock — including market-rate homes, rental properties, and new construction. The roadmap serves as a key implementation strategy for the state's MI Healthy Climate Plan, which sets a goal of economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050. Because residential buildings account for a significant share of Michigan's greenhouse gas emissions, transforming how homes are heated, cooled, and powered is essential to meeting statewide climate targets. For example, the roadmap sets a goal of installing 2.8 million heat pumps for residential heating by 2040. Heat pumps offer high efficiency, lower operating costs, and environmental benefits. The roadmap outlines policy recommendations including updated building codes, expanded financing tools, improved electric rate design, workforce development strategies, and coordinated utility programs to ensure a just and equitable transition for Michigan residents. Enacting its recommendations is predicted to create more than 160,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2050. “Clean energy in our homes is about more than carbon reduction — it's about protecting public health and lowering costs for Michigan families,” said EGLE Director Phil Roos. “Michigan is already putting this vision into action through programs like MiHER,” said Julie Staveland, assistant director of EGLE's Materials Management Division. “This roadmap ensures we don't stop there. It provides a clear path to scale energy efficiency and electrification across all homes in Michigan — lowering costs for families while protecting public health and the climate.”

The rapid adoption of mobile applications for managing consumer whole-house battery and energy systems has introduced new questions about software supply chain security. While these applications are not currently integrated with critical infrastructure, their growing role in connected energy environments highlights the importance of understanding the dependencies,permissions, and external services that support their operation. Many of these applications rely on shared third-party libraries, analytics frameworks, and messaging services, creating overlapping software ecosystems across vendors.In this talk, I will present an analysis of several battery-management mobile applications using static and dynamic analysis techniques. The study examines third-party dependencies, Android permission usage, and outbound network activity to identify common software components and shared external infrastructure. The results reveal significant overlap in libraries and permissions across applications, suggesting that vulnerabilities in widely used components could introduce shared risk pathways across multiple vendors. This work highlights the need for stronger dependency governance,permission minimization, and ongoing monitoring as mobile energy applications continue to evolve.

Dr. Friday reviews home energy improvement credits and annual limits for items like HVAC and windows. She explains why receipts and manufacturer certificates are critical for claiming the credit. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Energy credit for home improvements is still on the table. HVAC, windows, insulation, and energy-efficient property improvements are subject to annual limitations, but you still have them on the table. It’s very important, but you do need the receipt and the manufacturer certificate to prove they meet IRS code. That’s the important part. A lot of times people come in and say, well I got a new AC unit. Okay, we need the receipt. We need to see, did it really meet the energy credit, or was it just a new unit that was cheaper and not able to meet those criteria? If you need help with this, just go to the web at drfriday.com.

Baz Iyer (Vulcan) and Stephen Lloyd (Savills Earth) join us to talk about the likely impact of the UK's long-awaited Future Homes Standard (FHS) and, perhaps more importantly, the Home Energy Model (HEM).HEM is the new model that will inform the UK's Energy Performance Certification (EPC) rating system. It's much more detailed in terms of the information that it demands about the buildings it is being used to rate, and therefore much more demanding of the assessors.But this means that it can be much more useful for modelling the energy performance of buildings because it will better reflect how the building will be experienced by its users. It won't be perfect but the level of detail that it demands means that homeowners may be able to use EPCs to make meaningful decisions about how to improve the buildings in which they live. This also means that, in time, it is conceivable that HEM can become a design tool in the same way designers use PHPP to predict performance and calibrate design. That's certainly what Baz is planning and why he and Stephen have been interrogating the place HEM will occupy in the UK construction sector, the impact it might have on its culture, and the opportunity that its adoption will open up.If anyone needs some help getting to grips with this I'd recommend they connect with Baz, he's very friendly and well-informed.Notes from the showBaz Iyer on LinkedInStephen Lloyd on LinkedIn The Vulcan websiteThe Savills Earth websiteVulcan on LinkedInOld ZAP #1 - 'Incompetence still reigns supreme' in energy ratings: DPE certification, EPCs, BERs, and a little bit of ESGOld ZAP #2 - ZAP Shady business #1 – overheating, and Camden: we should think about solar gain all year round, with Zoe De Grussa (BBSA)**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Could we power the entire world with clean energy, 24/7, just by tapping into the heat beneath our feet? According to Jamie Beard, founder of Project InnerSpace, the answer is a resounding yes! She believes we could produce 70-75% of global electricity and 100% of its heat using geothermal energy – without burning a single fossil fuel. While less than 1% of the world's energy currently comes from this incredible source, Jamie reveals we're on the cusp of a "geothermal renaissance." Even more surprisingly, this renewable powerhouse has an 80-90% skill set overlap with the oil and gas industry, making it uniquely positioned to scale rapidly with existing talent and tools. In this episode of the Everything Electric Show, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jamie to unlock the immense potential of next-generation geothermal. From her legal background to working on oil rigs, Jamie's journey highlights how oil and gas expertise – and even fracking technology – could be the key to bringing clean, reliable geothermal energy to homes and industries worldwide.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're continuing our Earth Month of personal climate action! If your house is anything like mine, it's a leaky sieve of escaping heat or cool air, your HVAC filters are disgusting, and there are sneaky fluorescent bulbs hanging around the house. It's costing you money, and it's wasting energy, meaning it's contributing to planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in a way that's probably fairly easy to avoid. This week, I'm talking to Evite founder Selina Tobaccowala about the company she has since founded, HomeBoost, and how it's helping homeowners make their homes more comfortable, energy efficient, and lower utility bills as a result.LINKS:HomeBoostSelina TobaccowalaAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://plus.acast.com/s/everybody-in-the-poolPlease subscribe and tell your friends about Everybody in the Pool!
