Renewable Energy Podcast

Ogami Station

Ogami Station is a podcast created by RatedPower to bring renewable energy closer to everyone, to disseminate knowledge, and give insights into how to grow their personal and professional skills and businesses in the matter. Twice a month, a renewable energy-related topic will be discussed—following an interview style—with a guest that's a specialist in the matter.

Latest episodes

(S5E17) Green Hydrogen: The Fuel Everyone’s Betting On

We explore the global green hydrogen boom: how it’s produced with renewable electricity, why sectors like steel, aviation, shipping, and heavy transport are betting on it, and what challenges are slowing its growth.

When can green hydrogen can truly transform the energy system, and where may expectations still be ahead of reality?

(S5E16) France’s Solar Puzzle: Policy, Grid, and the Race to Scale

France has big solar ambitions, but scaling isn’t simple. In this episode of Ogami Station, Angie talks with Elena Ginés about the policy debates, grid bottlenecks, curtailment, storage opportunities, and land challenges shaping France’s solar future. From PPE3 to hybrid PV and BESS projects, they unpack what developers need to watch as the market moves forward.

(S5E15) Floating Giants: How Offshore Wind Is Changing Energy

We dive into the fascinating world of offshore wind energy, where giant turbines, floating structures, and massive engineering projects are helping power the renewable energy transition.

(S5E14) What happens when a solar plant hits year 10? Lessons from Italy

In this Ogami Station episode, Angie and Juanmi Sierra explore how repowering—through upgraded modules, inverters, and trackers—can boost output without using more land.

They also cover Italy’s regulatory and grid constraints, Terna’s €23B plan, and how a portfolio approach can deliver gains of up to 43%.

(S5E13) Grid Congestion, Hybrids, and Bifacial Solar: What’s Next for Renewables

In this episode, we unpack what’s really changing in the energy transition. The sector is confident, solar is still exploding, but the conversation is shifting from “build more” to “make the system work.”

Tune in for the three trends reshaping 2026 and beyond: grid congestion as the #1 bottleneck, hybrid solar + storage moving into the mainstream, and bifacial modules taking over modern plant design. If you’re developing, financing, or building renewables, this episode will help you understand what’s coming, and what to do next.

(S5E12) How Circular Is the UK Solar Industry?

In this episode, we zoom in on the UK solar market and ask a simple question with big implications: as solar scales fast, is it scaling sustainably? We break down what “circularity” actually means in a solar context, from design choices and maintenance, to decommissioning, reuse, and high-value recycling, so the industry can move beyond the take-make-dispose model.

We also explore what’s at stake for the UK. With ambitions to ramp up deployment, the key challenge is making circular frameworks mature as quickly as the market, so we don’t solve one problem while creating another
