Delighted to announce €2.2m today to further fund its ambitious future plans.
When entrepreneurship meets new technology.
As #COP28 begins, we have recently seen an incredible rise of #EnergyStorage on numerous Grids. Those markets, whether in Europe or in the USA, have been created by the magic formula where entrepreneurship blended with new technology.
For @gerardreid14 and me, there is not better guest to discuss the phenomenal growth of the ESS than Dr Alex O’Cinneide. @alexocinn is the Founder and CEO of Gore Street Capital @Gore_Street , a London based fund which now manages a portfolio of 1.2GW of batteries in GB, Ireland, Germany, Texas and California. Seven years ago, he was working out of a telephone booth with his laptop on his knees.
Alex explains the value of a geographical portfolio approach, how tech is evolving, how supply chains are reacting, what is similar and what is different in all those markets.
An energy transition story which is also a personal journey of a very talented entrepreneur whose success has been recognised by the Industry as Alex has been recently received the prestigious “Man of the Year” award by @Solarmedialtd .
Alex describes the investment in batteries (compared to wind or solar) as the most challenging, but also the most important and rewarding.
And as we say on the show, it is all about harnessing “space and time” or in a more market angle “Long Flex – Short Vol”

GBNews was the broadcast embodiment of Brexit. That’s why @afneil helmed it & why *anyone* who understood Brexit knew it would descend in to bigotry, racism, bogus victimhood & conspiracies. As with Brexit, there is no pleasure in being proved completely right about everything.
Such a powerful speech, from the heart, about Suella Braverman's views on multiculturalism in Britain from
@lisanandy 👏🏼

"I think the starting point for this conversation is again, the world's target of coming as quickly as possible to net zero. Because if we go on the way we're going today, we're going to be in deep trouble.” - @alexocinn @Gore_Street https://t.co/bqsMvHlZSw

By the time Sinéad O’Connor sang this (1992) some 70,000 children had been sexually abused by Catholic priests & brothers in Ireland. The state, media, bishops, cardinals & pope had covered it up. She was scorned.
The voice, the person, the talent, the story behind her. And the courage of her convictions. No other Irish woman made the mark she made or blazed such a trail for my generation. R.I.P. Sinéad 💔
