Uh, Ellis' brutal first day, though, follows a series of delayed AI listings.

Think about Enscale, Firmess, SP Energy, which is backed by SoftBank, that Japanese investment firm, uh, recently raising about 11 billion in the junk bond market to cover a bridge loan.

And we're told by a source that Masayoshi Son has spent time in the Middle East recently to raise additional capital due in part to OpenAI's delayed IPO, in which SoftBank is an investor in.

Uh, CoreWeave did start the day, uh, higher and now is up about 3%, and it has a similar business model to Ellis in that it buys GPUs and then rents them out.

Why? Because, and why do we want more public companies? Private markets are essentially opinions and public prices are facts.

And the pulled data center, IPOs, Firmus, SP Energy, they were asking public investors to continue to pay their private market vibes.

And public investors said no.

And essentially private markets have become where valuations go to avoid accountability.

The Windy Hill to Lambhill to Denny North Upgrade Project is part of SP Energy Network's long-term investment to unlock regional or economic growth, increase capacity and ensure a secure and reliable power supply for future generations.

With electricity demand across Scotland expected to double by twenty-fifty, SP Energy Networks is proposing upgrades within three existing substations, Windy Hill in Clydebank, Lambhill and Denny North Substations.

The plan is to increase the voltage of existing overhead transmission lines across the area to enable the network to operate at four hundred kilovolts or four hundred thousand volts, which requires upgrading some of the tower foundations and access points as well as rewiring along the route.

SP Energy Networks says these upgrades will enable more renewable energy to be transported efficiently from where it is generated to homes and businesses across the country, increasing capacity and reducing constraints.

It is seeking feedback on the proposals and comments received during this consultation will help shape the final design for the substation upgrades, tower foundations and access routes.

The overhead line runs north from Clydebank and then west and south close to Milngavie and down the Lambhill.

Well, here's the thing.

So it was the Scottish Power Energy.

Right.

Or so some Scottish energy company, and so I looked it up.

These systems are fundamental to delivering clean electricity where it's needed, and our guests bring firsthand experience of making them happen.

We're joined today by Katy Bothro, a mechanical engineer turned senior project manager at SP Energy Networks, working on the Eastern Green Link One project, also referred to as EGL One project, and in particular, the Torness substation.

Alongside her is Matthew Dougan, an electrical engineer specializing in high voltage direct current, HVDC, cable design of offshore transmission projects, also at SP Energy Networks.

And we're also pleased to welcome Callum MacIver from the University of Strathclyde, a research fellow in electronic and electrical engineering who is also affiliated with the UK Energy Research Center.

Calum's work focuses on integrating large-scale renewables into the power system, including examining the technical, economic, and regulatory challenges involved in delivering offshore HVDC transmission system projects.

Did the engineering for a year or two and then moved into project management quite naturally.

So stayed there for about five years, delivered some brilliant projects for massive wind farms, South Fork, Berwick Bank, Dogger Bank, and then wanted to get in, into a, a bigger company.

So I came to SP Energy Networks this time last year, and I've been a project manager for Eastern Green Link One Torness converter station for that year.

But the question now is whether this is another canary in the coal mine.

We've had a number of IPOs, including SP Energy, a couple of data centers that have pulled their IPOs as well recently.

And that's now raising some questions just about the IPO market more broadly and what that ultimately means as treasury rates have skyrocketed.

And your career moves

then, you went through Iberdrola to SP Energy Networks to Scottish Power.

I guess a lot of that was within the same company.
