Innovation Across Power Cooperative Community

Cooperatives

A roundtable with Holy Cross Energy’s Bryan Hannegan, SECO Energy’s Gregg Morrell, Rio Grande Electric Cooperative’s Abraham Vasquez, Block Island Utility District’s Jeffery Wright, and NRECA’s Angela Strickland.

Duck Curve Now Canyon Cliffs

EPRI

“The depth of the canyon in PJM is projected to be around seventy gigawatts in 2035. Which is equal to the total peak load of New England. And the average hourly ramp rate is projected to be over ten gigawatts per hour.”

Cool Transmission Lines

VEIR

“VEIR is building a new generation of high-capacity transmission lines that can go over long distances, giving five to ten times more power in the same right-of-way space used with a conventional conductor.”

U.S. Hydrogen Hubs: The Utility's Role

Guidehouse

“Achieving a competitive dispensed price for hydrogen fuel is a challenge – even with IRA support – due to the complex supply chain involved in getting hydrogen fuel to the pump.”

AEIC Members Share Cost Optimization Approaches

Innovating the Grid Transformation

“Con Edison developed an auto-scheduler application that integrates key data into a single platform by leveraging technology and knowledge of seasoned employees to develop business logic for planning and decision making. Dominion Energy launched a net metering chatbot that utilizes machine learning to more efficiently provide information to customers.”

Big Breakthrough in Transmission Transfer Capacity

TS Conductor

“The average wait for renewable farms, such as solar or wind farms to connect to the grid is 3.5 years. We can instantly change that just by swapping out the old conductors one-for-one with the TS conductor, as you can easily double, triple the capacity in the grid.”

Small Nuclear Getting Big: John Marshall

Potential Energy Coalition

“We have to get our heads around the fact that the world wants new nuclear. Our best communications advice would be that there is breakthrough technology that secures our future. It’s innovative, it’s clean, it’s abundant, it’s advantageous.”
