PowerPulse matches solar power demand with supply - Standard Bank's Kevin Ssemwogerere

In this episode of the PowerPulse podcast series, Kevin Ssemwogerere, Corporate Venturing Lead in Wholesale Clients Digital for the Standard Bank PowerPulse platform, joins Alec Hogg to provide more detail on how PowerPulse works. PowerPulse is a new digital platform introduced by Standard Bank that provides alternative energy solutions for large commercial clients by connecting them with appropriate power suppliers. Ssemwogerere delves into solar power as an advanced alternative energy solution and explains that while there is a great demand for and supply of power, the "necessary levers for the right participants in this industry to come together and exchange value have not been there". "The opportunity for us is to come in and be a facilitator of the exchange of value between the participants," he says. "So we've come up with a digital platform called PowerPulse, which brings together - through a matchmaking process - the entity that's looking for solar PV as an option for self-generation of electricity, but also the installer of solar. We sit in the middle of it as the facilitator that helps them to exchange value and ultimately, in a trusted environment, have solar installed, and everybody benefits through this exchange of value.
