EV Infrastructure & Grid Flexibility Expert 9+ Years · £68M+ Delivered
I'm a senior energy professional with over nine years of experience across strategy, innovation, and delivery — helping organisations navigate the most consequential infrastructure shift of our generation. My work sits at the intersection of engineering rigour and commercial strategy, turning policy ambitions into infrastructure that works.
With an MSc in Sustainable Energy Systems from the University of Edinburgh — where my dissertation modelled hybrid electrification for off-grid communities — and a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Khartoum, I bring deep technical grounding to every engagement. From electrifying large commercial fleets and evaluating battery storage investments to designing KPI frameworks and leading Innovate UK–funded programmes, I've built my career around data-driven decision-making and stakeholder alignment across the full energy transition spectrum.

Perspectives on the UK energy transition, EV infrastructure, and grid flexibility
The UK's ZEV Mandate requires 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans to be zero-emission by 2030. For fleet operators, the question isn't whether to go electric — it's how to get it right. Drawing on insights from the Optimise Prime trial with Royal Mail, British Gas, and Uber, I break down the infrastructure, cost, and people challenges every fleet manager needs to address now.
Electric vehicle energy consumption increases by 30% during winter months — and battery efficiency drops 7% for every 10°C fall in temperature. Based on real data from the world's largest commercial EV trial, here's how fleet managers can use charging optimisation, route adaptation, and battery pre-conditioning to maintain operational efficiency year-round.
Home charging sits at 28p/kWh. Public charging hits 82p/kWh. That three-fold gap isn't just a consumer inconvenience — it's a structural barrier to commercial fleet electrification. Fleets without workplace charging are being pushed onto costly public networks, eroding the economic case for EVs. Here's why pricing regulation deserves a serious conversation.
