Carbon Clarity

#10 Carbon Clarity with Kev and Nigel

Kev Couling Season 2 Episode 1

In this episode, I'm joined by Nigel Banks, Technical Director at Octopus Energy; now the UK's largest energy supplier.

We get into all manner of energy and carbon related chat including how Octopus can afford to guarantee that customers on their Zero Bills tariff won't pay anything for energy for an extraordinary 10 years, why moving data centres and other energy hungry industry to where there are more renewables might benefit balance sheets as well as GHG inventories, and why upgrading the fabric in your house probably shouldn't be step 1 on your decarbonisation journey.

Things mentioned in the show:
