Did you hear the story of the serial clean-tech entrepreneur who sold his successful energy technology company to Shell and started a battery network company in Africa to change the way energy is distributed and delivered to customers? Well, that's the story of @Erik Nygard, our next guest on the @Watt Pod. Having exited @Limejump, following its sale to @Shell, Erik is currently plowing all his time and resources into urban energy access in Africa using portable batteries. @Kofa is the brainchild - a swappable battery platform that's delivering clean energy and zero emissions starting with their motorcycles designed specifically for Africa, but also for other use cases such as backup power or energy where no socket is available--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watt-pod/message

Erik Nygard - Founder & CEO @ Kofa

What’s it all about?Limejump are one of the great UK cleantech start-up stories. Recently acquired by Shell Ventures, the company continues to grow and play an active part in the clean energy transition. I talk to CEO and Co-Founder Erik Nygard about the company journey, including how they helped in the recent UK blackout, the future of energy and the part AI will play, how is life as a cleantech start up owned by an Oil major, and his optimism for the future. About our guestErik Nygard – CEO &amp; Co-Founder – Limejump. Erik has worked for Centrica and British Gas; while at Centrica it became clear to him that people did not have much opportunity to try and be more proactive when managing their electricity. Therefore, he decided to set up Limejump, knowing that there was a definite opportunity to provide a better product and proposition for customers. Most recently Limejump has won the Bloomberg New Energy Pioneer award for 2018, S&amp;P Platts Rising Star 2018 and WIRED London Smarter Energy Stage and manages the largest portfolio of battery assets in the United Kingdom. Erik has led the development of the Limejump Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept to create the Future of Energy.
