The Salesperson, the Algorithm, and the Energy Bill. How AI Is Reshaping B2B Energy Sales
After 30 years in sales leadership and the best part of two decades working in and around the energy sector, I have watched this industry go through more reinventions than I care to count. This latest shift - AI - has the potential to be the most disruptive of the lot.
The Rising Tide of Non-Commodity Costs - What's coming next?The Rising Tide of Non-Commodity Costs - What's coming next?
For UK businesses, energy costs extend beyond the wholesale market.

And those charges are poised to rise even further.
The Global Race for Digital Power - Can the UK & Ireland Lead Before It’s Too Late?
In my first two articles, we looked at the immediate challenge of powering our data centres and the innovative energy solutions starting to emerge.
Now, in this third and final piece, I want to step further out — to the wider horizon where this is no longer just a market trend, but a national and geopolitical race. A race to attract investment. A race to host the most advanced AI and hyperscale workloads. And, ultimately, a race to secure a long-term competitive advantage in the global digital economy.

Powering the Digital Backbone: Energy Infrastructure for a Data-Driven UK & Ireland
Let’s be honest — we talk a lot about the UK & Ireland becoming a digital powerhouse, but without the right energy infrastructure behind it, it’s just PowerPoint and PR. The reality is that our growing digital economy – driven by AI, cloud computing, big data, and 24/7 connectivity – is putting unprecedented pressure on energy systems that weren’t designed for this level of demand or complexity.
Sun on the Horizon: Overcoming Barriers to Fully Funded Solar in Large Businesses
Imagine a scenario where a large organisation can bask in the glow of solar power without having to foot the bill upfront. It sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Yet, despite the promise of fully funded power purchase agreements (PPAs) for solar projects, large businesses often find themselves drowning in a long list of decision-making hurdles.
