Barrels to Batteries – Decoding Energy’s Next Chapter: An Enerdatics Podcast

The Bottleneck in Clean Energy: Interconnection & Data

In this episode of From Barrels to Batteries, Mohit Kaul talks with Joel Santisteban, Co-Founder and CEO of EcoSuite, about what it really takes to scale distributed energy. They get into why so much of the industry still runs on disconnected tools and spreadsheets, how stronger data systems can improve asset performance, and why interconnection continues to slow growth across the sector. Joel also shares the story behind building EcoSuite, why open data standards matter, and what real digital innovation looks like in an industry that’s often slow and complicated. A great listen for anyone following solar, storage, distributed energy, and where clean energy is headed.
