209. Deals, Scandals and other memorable moments of 2025

For our final episode of the year, Laurent jumped onto the Wolfe Power podcast, where he and host Alex Wolfe took a no-nonsense tour through the big energy moments that shaped 2025.
  • Deals of the Year: The spectacular offshore wind meltdown in the US — Orsted’s year of pain — contrasted with the blazing global boom in battery deployment all over the world, up a staggering 50% year-on-year.
  • The AI & Datacenter Surge: An extraordinary rise… but how much of it is grounded in facts, and how much is built on faith?
  • Scandals & Disgraces: From the SMR pump-and-dump circus to Venture Global’s LNG “ghosts ships,” and of course the Tony Blair report debacle — 2025 delivered drama.
  • Innovations That Actually Mattered: V2G is born thanks to Octopus and BYD and ever larger LFP form factors are reshaping storage — real progress amid the noise.
  • Quotes of the Year: A remarkable harvest of sharp insights capturing the zeitgeist… and, inevitably, a mountain of nonsense worth calling out.
To all our listeners: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thank you for riding through 2025 with us.

We’ll be back in early January with our Predictions episode — always a very popular one.
