What Are ‘Transformational’ Utilities Doing Right?

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then they transform? This week: a look at some positive trends guiding the utility sector. What are power providers that are leading the energy transition doing right? We’re joined by Julia Hamm, the president and CEO of the Smart Electric Power Alliance. We’re talking about SEPA’s 2021 utility transformation profile -- a survey and ranking system of over 130 electric utilities in the US. There are thousands of power companies. That means different flavors of corporate goals, management styles, and approaches to building clean energy. Julia’s going to help us understand what they are. Why is utility progress more like “change management” than traditional Silicon Valley-style disruption?  Then: how utilities will benefit from Biden’s big infrastructure push. Plus, the solar census: what will job growth look like in a post-pandemic world? The Energy Gang is brought to you by Aurora Solar.
