What happens when the backbone of America's electric grid risks buckling under the weight of surging demand and outdated planning? In a nation increasingly powered by renewable energy and tech-driven industries, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has stepped in with a groundbreaking
Setting the Stage for a Smarter Energy Future In an era where energy demands are skyrocketing and climate challenges loom large, the global utility sector faces an unprecedented need to transform aging infrastructure into a resilient, efficient system, especially as over 70% of grid components in
As global energy systems pivot toward renewable sources, a staggering challenge looms: over 50% of electricity from solar and wind remains intermittent, threatening grid stability. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as a pivotal solution, capturing excess energy and dispatching it
In an era where the electric utility sector faces unprecedented challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, no longer a distant vision but a critical tool for navigating today’s complex landscape. As highlighted during a recent Edison Electric Institute gathering
Introduction to the Large Load Tariff Proposal In Montana, the rapid rise of data centers is poised to transform the state's energy landscape, with projections estimating a staggering demand of 2,250 MW by 2030—a figure that dwarfs the current average daily peak load of just 760 MW managed by
Introduction to AI's Role in Electric Utilities The electric utility sector stands at a critical juncture where digital innovation is no longer optional but essential for survival, especially as grid systems face unprecedented threats from cyberattacks, extreme weather events, and surging demand.
