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.
What happens when the digital shield protecting the nation’s electric utilities vanishes overnight, leaving critical infrastructure exposed to relentless cyber attackers who target the heart of our power systems? In a world where power grids are the backbone of society, the lapse of a key
Energy policy in the United States stands as a battleground of competing ideologies, economic interests, and political loyalties, often shaping the nation's future in profound ways. Amid this charged landscape, Chris Wright's tenure as Energy Secretary under President Donald Trump's administration
