EP101 Creating the world's largest virtual power plant with Shawn McLaughlin of Emporia (November 2022)

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to interview Shawn McLaughlin, after having been impressed with the simplicity and value of using an Emporia Vue Energy Monitor for a year or so before I met him. 

 

Shawn shares with us his back story that led him from commodities trader to company builder: designer and manufacturer of a suite of powerful, yet inexpensive products used for smart home energy management.

 

Learn some new acronyms that you will be hearing more of in the future, such as disaggregation, FERC and DERM as we hear of his vision for building the world's largest virtual power plant (VPP) and his progress along that goal.

 

Shawn is a man of quiet confidence coupled with courage and enthusiasm. I think you will enjoy this conversation.
