Scale Energy CEO Elias Aruna Featured on Impact Hub Berlin's Impact Talks Podcast

Our CEO Elias Aruna was a guest on the season finale of Impact Hub Berlin's Impact Talks podcast, in conversation with host Ellie May Leopold.

For Elias, it started as a technical problem: how to build behind-the-meter storage for industrial customers that actually makes economic sense. Along the way, that turned into a bigger insight that still shapes how Scale Energy operates today: battery storage at industrial sites doesn't just change how much a company pays for energy — it changes its relationship to energy altogether.

The conversation covered:

• why sustainability needs to be communicated to industrial businesses not as a conviction, but as money saved and money made,
• why solar beats fossil fuels on logic alone, not just ethics,
• and what it takes to earn the trust of industrial stakeholders who can't afford to get a decision wrong.

That's the same experience Elias brings into Scale Energy's day-to-day work: in the end, it's not the vision that convinces industrial customers — it's the number at the bottom of the page.
