Energy Insiders Podcast: Why big business is flowing into wind and solar

Flow Power is pioneering new retail model delivering renewable energy to big business consumes.

Already, it has signed off-take agreements with three new wind projects and a solar project.

We talk to CEO Matthew van der Linden about the business appetite for wind and solar – they want lower electricity prices, and they want clean energy, and how this model could change the market.

And we look at the recent Wentworth by-election and what that may mean for policies and politics, plus the other news of the week.
