#54 – Naeem Turner-Bandele: His plan is electrifying
Merchandise - www.beerswithengineers.shop
Likes to drink Ginjinha, a Portuguese cherry liqueur
Wanted to be a professional soccer player.
Moved to Brazil and discovered power outages were frequent.
Then he got a serious concussion and pivoted to wanting to start an energy technology company.
From no interest in engineering to getting a PhD.
He is known for being a man with a plan
Dissertation topic was integrating renewables into the electric grid
His company, Latimer Enterprise, is named for Lewis Howard Latimer
About lights bulbs not lasting a long time: it was called the Phoebus cartel.
The power industry treats customers as load, not as a customer.
He works with the customers as customers and people.
Naeem ran track in addition to soccer.
200/400 double vs 400/800 double in track
Renewables are a challenge to the grid but the big issue is still storage.
Get an energy audit! Naeem can help.
Naeem is a big movie fan.
Recommends the movie “Sinners” – vampires in the Jim Crow south
Naeem loves “Citizen Kane”. Bert – not so much.
