Strategy & Planning

“All the equipment we’re working with is commercially available. The goal of testing it in a microgrid is to achieve annual efficiencies well over 100% on or off grid at GHG emission levels no more than 50% of the current average grid.”

“We can determine which of these microbes might be in the sample and if that could potentially be a part of the root cause of a failure. GTI Energy is one of the labs that the energy industry uses for that, and it’s the only lab that’s accredited.”

“Our view at GTI Energy is that when we’re changing energy systems, it’s important we’re approaching the change from a systems perspective. It is important that we are collaborating.”

GTI Energy embraces a vision for integrated, low-carbon, low-cost energy systems that leverage gases, liquids, infrastructure, and efficiency to meet the urgent challenges presented by climate change and global energy access. To fully comprehend these words, there is nothing like a visit to its eighteen acres of facilities close to Chicago, to take in the depth and breadth of what goes on at these specialized labs with equipment for design, testing, and analysis of advanced energy technologies.

General Electric began selling pre-assembled Christmas light kits in 1903. Until then, lighting your tree electrically was expensive and the installation, complicated. Toy electric trains started out as a store window display that would draw the attention of shoppers to the store.

“Putting these factors together – an island with a need for renewables and a lot of wind off its coast – it’s not a surprise that LIPA was the first utility in the U.S. to sign a power purchase agreement to develop offshore wind in federal waters.”

A Global Circuit Interview with FortisTCI CEO Ruth Forbes discussing navigating the clean energy transition with an island energy grid, ensuring reliability, and providing opportunities for women in our industry to take on leadership roles.

Conversation with Infravision’s Cameron Van Der Berg and Chris Cox, Energy Impact Partners’ Evan Pittman, and Edison International’s Sergej Mahnovski.

“To be in Gerald Ford’s hometown, honor his legacy and the work he did around energy as president, ground this in what’s happening today, even as we look forward, has been important. We always wanted to tie in with President Ford’s legacy. The active work we’ve seen in the last couple of years at the federal level has made that more relevant.”

“We can begin to look at advanced nuclear reactor options that are being developed today, such as smaller modular reactors that are about three hundred megawatts versus the thousand-megawatt reactors at Vogtle.”
