Perspective

Utilities in the present aim to be fleet of foot. For them, nimble is a common buzzword. Fail fast is another.

The goal of the grid is to provide the necessary power capacity that links generators to loads, to maintain reliability under normal and stressed conditions, in a way that minimizes both capital and operational costs and maintains low costs to consumers.

“There are issues such as whether there are poles igniting or a thick smoke that could cause arcing. We also rely on what our power company’s first responders are telling us about the facilities in that area.”

“Working collaboratively has broad benefits. It can help utilities genuinely understand the needs of the communities they serve, so they can make more effective investments and act as partners in building more equitable, just communities.”

“Utilities and regulators need to address in language that’s clear to customers about who’s accessing their data, why, and how it benefits customers.”

The British Columbia Utilities Commission hosted CAMPUT’s 2022 Annual Conference with the theme ‘Deep Dive into Disruption.’

“Electricity is bringing people together. Electricity is part of world peace and that is something we can all embrace.”

“We have to do this grand transition in a period of extreme turbulence. COVID, climate, and conflict contributing to a cost-of-living crisis. We have decentralization, decarbonization, digitalization, diversity in energy, and demand-side disruption.”
