As renewable energy scales, the biggest challenge isn’t generation — it’s coordination.
In this episode of Green Disruptors, Megan Kjar speaks with Dan Travers, co-founder of Open Climate Fix, about how AI-driven forecasting is helping power grids integrate more solar and wind while reducing costs and emissions.
They explore:
• Why traditional grid systems can’t handle renewable variability
• How AI forecasts cut grid balancing errors by up to 50%
• The role of open-source technology in accelerating adoption
• The tension between nonprofit missions and commercial scale
• Why better data — not just more hardware — is the key to net zero
A thoughtful, optimistic conversation about the invisible infrastructure powering the clean energy transition.
