In this thought-provoking episode of Off the Grid: On the Record, host Yarek Matacz sits down with Freddie de Sibert, CEO and Head of Data Science at Energy Applied, to unpack the real-world complexities of our aging electrical grid, the rise of AI in energy management, and the overlooked role of low-to-middle income communities in the energy transition.
From his investment banking roots to founding cutting-edge tech startups, Freddie brings a unique lens to solving today’s energy volatility and grid stress challenges. The two dive deep into:
How Energy Applied helps monetize demand volatility
The ethical mission behind targeting underserved communities
What AI really does in energy optimization (and what it doesn’t)
Challenges in scientific communication vs. marketing
Global infrastructure brittleness and systemic risks
Why landfills, not just the grid, are Freddie’s top problem to solve
This episode is rich with insight—from policy to physics, from Silicon Valley to Singapore—and is a must-listen for anyone building, investing in, or navigating the future of infrastructure, electrification, or sustainability.
🔋 Real talk. No buzzwords. Just what’s really happening behind the switch.
