In this episode, Peter Pongracz sits down with Bradley Mundt, CEO and Co-Founder of PLAN-B NET ZERO AG, to explore why a renewable energy company is building something that looks a lot more like a tech lifestyle brand than a traditional electricity supplier.
Bradley breaks down the concept of Neo Energy: the idea that solar industry insights and clean electricity can be packaged the same way Revolut or N26 packaged banking, with full transparency, real-time pricing, and an AI-driven app that knows your household better than you do. He explains how smart meters can read electricity usage so precisely they can identify individual appliances, and why that data layer is central to Plan B Net Zero's strategy. For anyone following battery storage markets or the evolution of the B2C energy sector in Germany, this is a revealing look at how one company is trying to change what customers expect from their energy supplier.
The conversation also covers grid resilience and what households and businesses genuinely underestimate about energy security until something goes wrong. Bradley draws on his background as a day trader to explain why emotional discipline and flexibility matter as much in energy markets as they do on a trading desk. He touches on the ongoing geopolitical pressures reshaping European utility scale solar and storage investment, and why the answer to most energy dilemmas comes down to one word: autonomy.
Bradley also previews Plan B Net Zero's plans for a Q3 2026 IPO and the company's next moves in the app, digital energy, and cross-industry partnership space.
