Episode notes
On April 9, 2025, at the FREE Energy Summit in Lisbon, hydro-power engineer DK delivered an insightful talk addressing the unique energy challenges of the Azores archipelago. Drawing from his extensive experience in Africa’s energy sector, DK explored how the Azores' reliance on imported fossil fuels and underutilised renewable resources presents both obstacles and opportunities. He highlighted the potential of geothermal energy as a transformative solution, and proposed Bitcoin mining as a key enabler - monetising excess energy, supporting infrastructure investment, and helping stabilise the island's grid.
