More Power To You

Our electric grid is in the midst of arguably its biggest transformation of the last hundred years. Changes in technology, different regulatory approaches, new business models, as well as the rise of distributed generation in which consumers generate their own power behind the meter—all of these factors are fundamentally upending our traditional electric grid, as well as making people question what the role of the utility should be in the future. Joining the podcast to discuss the grid of the future are Christine Stearn, Senior Manager, 51st State Initative, and Tanuj Deora, Chief Content Officer, at SEPA, the Smart Electric Power Alliance based in Washington, D.C.  Resources mentioned include: Baskin-Robbins' Old Fashioned Butter Pecan MPTY Podcast Episode 21: Electric Vehicles, Managed Charging and Utilities Light and Hope for Puerto Rico Recorded: December 4, 2017.
