James Richmond on Building Energy Systems That Work for Everyone Our grid may be outdated, but your on-site solution doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Green Giants, Titans of Renewable Energy, e2Companies CEO James Richmond joins host Wes Ashworth to explore how local, intelligent power systems are solving the most urgent challenges facing today’s electric grid and creating new opportunities for businesses of all sizes. With over 30 years in power systems, James brings deep industry insight and a passion for building smarter, more resilient energy models that put control back in the hands of businesses and communities. 🎧 Key themes: - Why microgrids and on-site energy management systems are now essential, not optional - How demand-side strategies can unlock 25–35% more grid capacity - AI’s dual role, driving demand and enabling smarter energy use - Why equitable access must be part of the clean energy transition - How e2’s partnership with Corscale Data Centers is reshaping how data centers approach power Bottom line: You don’t have to wait for the grid to catch up. The future of energy is local, resilient, and already within reach. 🎙️ Listen now: https://lnkd.in/e86--yp6 🌐 Green Giants Website: https://lnkd.in/eZ97KnTS #VirtualUtility #EnergyResilience #BehindTheMeter #DemandResponse #JamesRichmond #e2Companies #AI #CleanEnergy #GreenGiantsPodcast

🚀 The U.S. grid was built for lightbulbs, not for a world where every click spins up an AI model. In his brand-new Utility Dive op-ed, James Richmond, CEO of e2Companies, flips the script and shows how to supercharge the grid from the demand side. Why this matters, • Electricity demand is set to jump ≈16 % by 2030, the steepest climb in decades. • Up to 10 % of all electrons still vaporize as heat before they reach a plug. • Spain & Portugal lost ≈60 % of generation in just five seconds this spring, proof that brittle grids can snap without warning. James’ blueprint 🔹 Deploy AI-driven microgrids right at the customer meter 🔹 Use on-site generation as a relief valve for the bulk system 🔹 Avoid billion-dollar transmission upgrades and slash peak charges 🔹 Cut outages and emissions in one move 👉 If you run a data center, campus, or industrial site, this is must-read.
