Perspective

“One out-of-this-world option is space, where the sun is always shining. The challenge lies in getting this space-based solar power safely and efficiently back to Earth. EPRI is always looking for ways to innovate as part of the energy transition, and we’ve begun monitoring SBSP research, and advances needed to enable this technology.

“Given the criticality of the Internet, it is important that regulators, service providers, investors, and anyone who is impacted by the Internet understand what the FCC did.”

“The need to modernize and adopt innovative solutions remains critical for these utilities to thrive. Embracing digital transformation and investing in sustainable technologies will ensure they stay competitive and meet evolving consumer demands.”

“A key part of this act is to maintain and promote leadership of the United States and U.S. companies across the world as nuclear energy continues to develop.”

“Normally, nonelected officials can’t obligate the public to a loan payment, but the enabling legislation allows them to do that, as long as the project is set up so there’s sufficient savings to cover the note payment, and the third-party ESCO guarantees that savings, such that the budget is never impacted.”

“One major project to help improve general knowledge about the work conducted at PUCs is the NARUC ‘Day in the Life’ campaign. This video series was produced by NARUC to highlight the benefits and value of working for a PUC at the forefront of the transforming energy landscape.”

“We’re concerned, too, from a water utility standpoint on fire mitigation because one of the main missions of a water utility in a community is to provide water for fire protection.”

“AEIC’s Ops Center will provide the electric utility industry with authoritative information as a basis for decision making on local, state, and federal infrastructure investments. The Ops Center will facilitate projects that address important issues, including technology challenges, grid storage, electrification, and more. As projects are completed, the Ops Center will publish results.”

“In much of Europe, Asia, and North America, AI is seen as a tool to optimize energy systems and drive technological progress. Communities without reliable electricity are approaching the AI revolution differently.”

“EPRI is launching a multi-year initiative. Grid-Enhancing Technologies for a Smart Energy Transition or GET SET, is focused on expanding network capacity and maintaining grid reliability, while providing affordability, resilience, and energy security on the path to net zero.”
