Touring Vogtle

SEARUC

“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.”

Idaho National Lab on Distributed Energy

Microgrids

“The Microgrid in a Box can be plugged in just about anywhere. You would need a step-up transformer for the utility connection. Normally, to try to serve a building with it, but also have it tied to distribution, you’d be between the utility distribution transformer and the building.”

Energy is Digital

GE Vernova

“With the energy transition and accompanying rise of distributed energy resources like solar, wind, and renewables, the grid and the data architecture behind it is becoming more and more distributed. But distributed data is a difficult problem to solve.”

Reindustrialization Matters

EPRI

Conversation with EPRI’s SVP for Energy Delivery and Customer Solutions regarding a new EPRI report, “The Impact of Industrial Onshoring on Electric Sector Demand Growth.”

The Experts: Turbines

PSM

“We have transformed PSM into a global business, where we can tackle, within the constraints perhaps of certain fleets, the entire gas turbine engine. That’s what I’m proud of.”

Collaboration Key to Power Generation Advancements

A Forum for Dialogue

“The Association of Edison Illuminating Companies Power Generation Committee promotes safety, technological, and operational advances in power generation by providing a forum for dialogue between suppliers and utilities. Members represent approximately 60% of electricity generated in the U.S.”

Broadband Roundtable

NRECA PowerXchange

“Economic development is a huge factor in fiber deployment. Our cooperative is serving one Microsoft data center and are in the process of serving three more. You don’t attract those kinds of loads without a sound, highly reliable fiber network.”

Supply Chain Roundtable

NRECA PowerXchange

“We are seeing lead times of up to a year for critical materials such as transformers, meter sockets, wire, and some hardware, with some lead times on other non-critical material reaching 70 weeks. This requires our salespeople to engage with customers in planning ahead and ordering early.”

Hawaiian Electric: Jack Shriver

Director for Generation Project Development

“Our islands are relatively small, and the acreage footprint is going to start to become a more contentious issue. We’re going to need to look for technologies that don’t use up as much of our precious resources.”
