Imagine a world where batteries power not just cars and gadgets but entire fleets of electric ships, futuristic flying vehicles, and sprawling energy grids that keep cities humming through the night. China, long a titan in the power battery arena, stands on the brink of turning this vision into
Christopher Hailstone has spent years deep in the engine room of India’s power system—running energy portfolios, standing up large renewable programs, and troubleshooting grid reliability. In this conversation, he breaks down how a KKR-backed platform can scale to 17 GW by 2029/30 while keeping
Why water power is being revalued in a renewables-heavy grid India’s grid expanded at breakneck speed while large hydro grew from the mid-40s GW to roughly 50 GW, and as total utility-scale capacity neared 500 GW with non-fossil sources closing in on half the mix, planners began valuing water power
Europe’s energy transition hinged on a simple but formidable challenge: keep power reliable while wind and solar expand faster than traditional grids were built to handle, and do so in a way that lowers emissions, stabilizes costs, and strengthens security of supply under volatile fuel markets.
When roads stretch beyond the reach of gas pumps and charging stations, mobility falters not because machines cannot move, but because energy cannot follow, and that gap has become the most stubborn bottleneck for two-wheel transport in remote and rapidly growing regions. Into that problem space
I'm thrilled to sit down with Christopher Hailstone, a seasoned expert in energy management and renewable energy, who brings a wealth of knowledge on electricity delivery and grid reliability. With his deep insights into the utilities sector, Christopher is the perfect person to help us unpack the
