Perspective

“These factors are creating a monumental challenge for utilities to develop strategies to recruit and retain employees today, and to create a pipeline of next generation workers with the knowledge, skills, and training needed to build and operate a grid for the future.”

“Working with our contracted architects and design teams, my design hinged upon the information I brought back from my trips overseas. We knew, if they could do it again, this is what they would have done.”

“As sustainable investing becomes integral to capital allocation strategies, ESG metrics and scores have gained critical importance in evaluating companies’ performance and attractiveness to investors.”

This is the story of the formation of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York up to the beginning of the electric age, in commemoration of the company’s bicentennial.

“Despite significant differences between the U.S. and Denmark, there is much we can learn from the Danish energy system and its emphasis on public-private partnerships.”

“Our vision has been to build a partnership and a technological system that allows us to break down the digital silos that exist between the automotive industry and the utility industry to address the potential pain points that experts told us would be coming.”

“Reactive is the only company that provides real-time measurement of grid stability. On the transmission system, that’s interpreted as inertia. Inertia is a measure of grid stability. As you add more renewables to the grid – some don’t like to admit this – grid stability goes down because inertia goes down.”

“I am a true believer in the potential of behavior-based changes in energy. That could be small things that people do, how they use their thermostats and adjust window shades, but it could also be big changes. It could be the EV adoption journey.”

“All that energy must be decarbonized as the world goes to zero. The transportation sector, the grid; we’re getting good at decarbonizing those, despite challenges. But industry is the hard to decarbonize sector. Why? Industrial heat.”

“It is important to get customers to adopt these technologies and then enroll in the programs that utilities want and need them to.”
