As electrification becomes a leading decarbonization strategy, utilities must make significant investments into clean generation technologies and their grids. Those investments are poised to add up fast. But they can’t just be fast, they must also be lean — just enough to serve demand cleanly, but not so much that electricity gets priced out as a climate solution.
We need investment efficiency more than ever. In the past, as utilities built their grids from scratch and unlocked early efficiencies, the traditional “build, build, build” model worked well.
