By leveraging the power of AI, electric utilities nationwide are discovering ways to improve the efficiency and safety of their field crews. For example, the Grid Operations team at Southern California Edison (SCE) launched the AWARE system two years ago to mitigate outages, expedite restoration and improve productivity for the field workforce.  Listen to the narrated version of the October 2025 cover story to learn how the AWARE system monitors the health of the grid and alerts crews to early-stage faults. SCE and Edison International recently won the electric power industry's highest honor: the Edison Award from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) for the AWARE technology. To read the full article, which went online as "SCE Accelerates Fault Detection with the Power of AI," visit T&D World's website.  If your utility is using technology in an innovative way, we'd love to hear from you.

Data centers aren't the problem.They're the stress test.As AI-driven demand surges, the grid is being pushed in ways it was never designed for. But instead of asking how to slow data centers down, today's conversation asks a better question: Is the grid fit enough to handle what's coming next?In this Tactical Tuesday episode, recorded live with the Smart Electric Power Alliance, we explore grid fitness — a new way of thinking about flexibility, planning, and speed to power.SEPA's Ann Collier is joined by Tyler Norris and Nelson Abramson to break down what the data actually shows, what's already working in the field, and what has to change upstream in planning and policy.Expect to learn:

In this episode of the Simple and Smart SEO Show, Crystal Waddell breaks down how AI search systems can lock businesses into outdated messaging, even after they've evolved. Using a real-world case study of a lawn service company transitioning from residential to large-scale commercial work, Crystal explains how semantic misalignment—not visibility—is often the root problem. She introduces the concept of semantic alignment and shows how refining website language and structure can guide AI to recommend businesses for the right type of work. From homepage rewrites to contact form tweaks, you'll learn how to future-proof your business's online presence.Key Takeaways:Semantic Clarity Over SEO Volume: The problem isn't always lack of keywords—it's misaligned meaning that AI misinterprets.AI Sees Language, Not Intent: Your evolving business needs evolving semantics to match.Refine Category Language: AI already knows how to group services—your site just needs to claim that space.Emphasize Equipment and Scale: Specifics like tractor sizes or acreage capacity build trust and align expectations.Update Contact Forms Thoughtfully: Even small changes like renaming service frequency options can better match buyer psychology and train AI.Your Website Trains AI Too: Every word on your site tells AI what kind of work to send your way.Episode Highlights:"AI doesn't see your intentions. It sees your language.""The site stopped pulling him backward—and started supporting where he's going.""Semantic alignment isn't about traffic. It's about getting the right work."Listener Action Items:Run a SemText me your questions or comments!Hey, Shopify store owners!

Send me a messageEurope doesn't have a clean energy problem. It has a grid problem.Solar is cheap. Batteries are scaling. Demand is exploding. The system in the middle is cracking.In this episode, I'm joined by Rob Stait, Managing Director of Alight's behind-the-meter business, to unpack why the energy transition is now being held back less by technology and more by infrastructure, regulation, and outdated thinking. Alight develops and owns onsite solar and battery systems for large energy users across Europe, using long-term PPAs to lock in savings, cut emissions, and build resilience.We dig into why waiting for cheaper solar or batteries is often the wrong call, and why businesses that move early gain a structural advantage. You'll hear how behind-the-meter solar and battery storage bypass grid bottlenecks entirely, why blaming renewables for blackouts misses the real issue, and how decentralised generation is reshaping energy security, affordability, and decarbonisation all at once.We also explore the uncomfortable reality facing Europe's grids, the growing role of data centres and electrification, and why microgrids are starting to look less like an edge case and more like the logical endgame of the energy transition. This is a grounded conversation about climate tech that works, emissions reduction that scales, and why net zero will be built through economics as much as policy.

In this episode, Dr. Laura A. Ward, Ph.D. in electrical engineering, and Sean White explore the practical realities of grid-forming inverters and their role in modernizing power grids. Drawing from her experience in Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria and her work as a Ph.D. intern on the analysis and modeling team for the PR100 project, Dr. Ward discusses the technical and policy challenges of adopting IEEE 1547-2018 and integrating renewable energy at scale. The conversation covers grid resilience, the importance of updated standards, and the future of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Listeners will gain insight into how the next-generation of power electronics technologies are being designed and implemented to create more reliable, sustainable, and resilient energy systems.   Topics Covered - Grid-Forming Inverter Technology for enabling more integration of renewables - Dr. Ward's career and her Ph.D. in electrical engineering under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Bayne at Texas Tech University in Lubbock - Experience as a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) intern - Impact of Hurricane Maria - Former University of Puerto Rico Teaching Assistant in Mayaguez Campus - Former Arizona State University (ASU) Research Assistant in Tempe - Resilience hubs, reliability, and stability studies - EIF Fellow at DOEE adopting and implementing the IEEE Standard 1547-2018 for DC grid modernization   Dr. Ward is an evangelist, technology innovator, and application engineer. Regarding the adoption of standards, she notes that Washington, D.C. has one of the most complex secondary network grids in the country, making the implementation of IEEE 1547-2018 significantly harder than in a suburban radial grid. Dr. Ward provided the technical leadership and engineering solutions to adopt IEEE 1547-2018 in the District of Columbia, specifically overcoming the technical barriers of high-density secondary networks to enable 100% decarbonization goals by 2032 and 15% solar generation by 2041.   Technical Contribution Citation: "For leadership in supporting the adoption and applying IEEE 1547-2018 to complex urban secondary networks, enabling the transition to high-penetration renewable energy systems." — Dr. Laura A.

The renewable energy sector faces a critical cybersecurity gap. As wind farms, solar installations, and battery energy storage systems proliferate across the globe, they create a decentralized network of digitally controlled assets that remain largely unprotected. Rafael Narezzi, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyber Energia, brings more than two decades of technology leadership experience to address this growing vulnerability in critical infrastructure.Cyber Energia takes a fundamentally different approach to OT security. While most cybersecurity companies stop at identifying risks through CVE scores and vulnerability assessments, Cyber Energia starts from the risk and translates it into financial terms that executives can act upon. The platform connects technical findings to compliance frameworks including NIS 2.0, IEC 62443, and NERC CIP, providing asset owners with a clear maturity landscape and actionable intelligence.Rafael Narezzi explains that asset owners in the renewable sector operate differently than traditional IT environments. Financial companies often acquire energy assets as investments without maintaining technical staff on-site. When compliance regulations now hold these owners personally liable for cybersecurity failures, they need tools that speak their language: dollars, risk, and return on investment. Cyber Energia prices its services per megawatt, demonstrating its commitment to speaking the language of energy.The decentralization of energy generation presents unique challenges. Rafael Narezzi points to recent cyber attacks on Poland's distributed grid as evidence that threat actors understand how to manipulate multiple remote locations simultaneously to destabilize power networks. Battery energy storage systems present particular risks, as compromised dispatch commands could create grid imbalances similar to the fictional scenario depicted in Ocean's 11. Yet many sites lack even basic cyber hygiene protections.Cyber Energia helps customers understand the financial impact of potential attacks. A 98-megawatt wind turbine site, for example, could lose 1.9 million dollars from just one week of downtime. This quantification enables executives to make informed decisions about relatively modest security investments that significantly reduce their risk exposure. The platform provides a single-view dashboard for organizations managing hundreds of sites across different regions, technologies, and regulatory environments.Rafael Narezzi observes that a CEO before a cyber attack is fundamentally different from a CEO after one. Organizations often underestimate digital risks compared to physical ones, despite living in an increasingly connected world. Regulations like NIS 2.0 now impose personal liability on directors and can revoke operating licenses, removing any excuse for neglecting cybersecurity. The awareness is changing, but Cyber Energia continues working to close the gap between compliance requirements and actual security posture across the renewable energy sector.This is a Brand Story.

In this episode, we take a grounded and thoughtful look at Esther Hicks and the channeled teachings of Abraham, exploring the deeper meaning behind some of the most well-known concepts in modern spirituality—the Law of Attraction, the Vortex, and the Grid.Rather than repeating surface-level interpretations, this conversation breaks down what these ideas are actually pointing toward beneath the language. We examine how alignment works, why emotional guidance matters more than positive thinking, and where the Law of Attraction has been misunderstood or oversimplified. The episode also places Abraham's teachings in context by comparing them to Buddhism, Hindu philosophy, and New Thought, highlighting the shared psychological and spiritual mechanisms at work across traditions.Whether you're familiar with Esther Hicks or approaching this material for the first time, this episode offers clarity, nuance, and a more grounded way of understanding manifestation, alignment, and inner coherence—without guilt, pressure, or spiritual bypassing.Books & Resources

Philip Johnston is co-founder and CEO of Starcloud, a company building data centers in space to solve AI's power crisis. Starcloud has already launched the first NVIDIA H100 GPU into orbit and is partnering with cloud providers like Crusoe to scale orbital computing infrastructure.As AI demand accelerates, data centers are running into a new bottleneck: access to reliable, affordable power. Grid congestion, interconnection delays, and cooling requirements are slowing the deployment of new AI data centers, even as compute demand continues to surge. Traditional data centers face 5-10 year lead times for new power projects due to permitting, interconnection queues, and grid capacity constraints.In this episode, Philip explains why Starcloud is building data centers in orbit, where continuous solar power is available and heat can be rejected directly into the vacuum of space. He walks through Starcloud's first on-orbit GPU deployment, the realities of cooling and radiation in space, and how orbital data centers could relieve pressure on terrestrial power systems as AI infrastructure scales.Episode recorded on Dec 11, 2025 (Published on Jan 13, 2026)In this episode, we cover: [04:59] What Starcloud's orbital data centers look like (and how they differ from terrestrial facilities)[06:37] How SpaceX Starship's reusable launch vehicles change space economics[10:45] The $500/kg breakeven point for space-based solar vs. Earth [14:15] Why space solar panels produce 8x more energy than ground-based arrays [21:19] Thermal management: Cooling NVIDIA GPUs in a vacuum using radiators [25:57] Edge computing in orbit: Real-time inference on satellite imagery [29:22] The Crusoe partnership: Selling power-as-a-service in space [31:21] Starcloud's business model: Power, cooling, and connectivity [34:18] Addressing critics: What could prevent orbital data centers from workingKey Takeaways:Starcloud launched the first NVIDIA H100 GPU into orbit in November 2024 Space solar produces 8x more energy per square meter than terrestrial solar Breakeven launch cost for orbital data centers: $500/kg Current customers: DOD and commercial Earth observation satellites needing real-time inference Target: 10 gigawatts of orbital computing capacity by early 2030s Enjoyed this episode?

A lot of people talk about going off-grid. But what if off-grid living isn't just about power and water, but about freedom from systems that quietly run your life?In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Burkinshaw from the Gridlessness YouTube channel to talk about what gridlessness really means. Jeff shares how his family moved from suburban life to a remote homestead in the Canadian wilderness, not out of fear, but out of a deep desire to live with intention.We talk about• redefining what it means to be “off-grid”• breaking free from debt and financial pressure• raising kids with responsibility, resilience, and confidence• the real challenges of independent living• and why freedom is worth the work it takes to build itIf you've ever felt the pull toward a simpler, more meaningful way of living, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

The power grid isn't just growing (at unprecedented rates!)It's becoming more complex, more distributed, and harder to manage.In this episode, Marc Spieler, who leads NVIDIA's global Energy business, explains how AI and accelerated computing already support grid operations, solar and storage forecasting, and infrastructure planning across the energy sector.Nico and Marc explore why electrification and data center growth are reshaping demand patterns, how software-defined infrastructure helps utilities avoid costly missteps, and where AI delivers practical value today. This conversation focuses on real workflows, real constraints, and what energy leaders need to understand as the grid evolves.If you work in solar, storage, utilities, or grid infrastructure, this episode will sharpen how you think about the role of software in clean energy.

Dean Akey, Executive Vice President/Partner from Clone Capital highlights a market transformation in energy demand, driven by rapid load growth from AI and data centers, which have different power needs compared to traditional industries. On episode 311 of The Green Insider, Dean covers: AI facilities require flexible power solutions due to fluctuating demands, similar to steel mills, while data centers have more stable energy needs. Innovative approaches, such as using garbage data to maintain high processing levels during low-demand periods, are being explored to manage AI facility energy needs. Data centers (e.g., for stock trading) need high-speed processing and real-time responses, whereas AI projects (e.g., in pharmaceuticals) process complex computations but do not require real-time results. Strategic location of data centers, and AI projects can enable energy arbitrage; Bitcoin miners are an example of mobile operations that relocate to areas with lower energy costs. Connecting power projects to the transmission grid is increasingly expensive and not always necessary, especially for projects serving local loads; developers should carefully weigh the pros and cons of grid connection. The energy interconnection process is lengthy and costly, which can deter undercapitalized developers. An “all-of-the-above” approach to energy generation is recommended, combining traditional gas plants with renewables (wind, solar) and storage to meet growing power demand, especially in the context of the AI race against China. Creativity and innovation are emerging in the industry, including smaller-scale and mobile generation solutions, with collaboration across sectors being crucial for energy security and competitiveness To be an Insider Please subscribe to The Green Insider powered by ERENEWABLE wherever you get your podcast from and remember to leave us a five-star rating.

As we head into 2026, electricity grids aren't just under strain; they are facing transformational change because of the shifts in the ways that we work, entertain ourselves, and get around. EVs are one of the fastest-growing new loads on the grid in many parts of the world, but are also one of the least well-understood. They can exhibit flexibility that's mostly going unused today. Millions of EVs are already connected to the grid, and they're being treated as a problem instead of a solution. So how could they be used to ease that strain on electricity grids? What would it look like if we could turn EVs into really useful distributed energy resources (DERs)? Host Ed Crooks welcomes Apoorv Bhargava to the show for the first time. Apoorv is the CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, a company aiming to make EVs and other DERs function like dependable infrastructure for distribution grids. It wants provide utilities with trusted, repeatable, edge-level control of assets, rather than occasional, system-level demand response. Apoorv explains how it all works.Apoorv is a former student of regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who now teaches at New York University. She joins the show to argue that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around claims of using flexibility to reinforce. It isn't a black-and-white question, she says: flexibility only works when it's engineered, trusted and planned for at the distribution level, not improvised through emergency demand response. Together Ed, Apoorv and Amy debate how EVs and grids might be able to work together in the future, instead of against each other. They discuss consumer behaviour, politics and concerns over rising power bills as factors that will matter just as much as the evolution of the technology. The biggest grid upgrade opportunity may not be new wires, transformers or even power plants: it could be the Tesla, VW or BYD in your driveway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are we asking ourselves an honest question about who really owns automation inside a business anymore? In my conversation with Darin Patterson, Vice President of Market Strategy at Make, we explore what happens when speed becomes the default requirement, but visibility and structure fail to keep up.  Make has become one of the breakout platforms for teams that want to build automated workflows without writing code, and now, with AI agents joining the mix, the stakes feel even higher. Darin talks candidly about the tension between empowerment and chaos, especially in organizations that embraced no-code tools fast and early, only to discover that automation can quietly turn into sprawl if left unchecked. What struck me most is how strongly Darin challenges the idea that documentation alone can save modern IT teams. He argues that traditional monitoring tools and workflow documentation are breaking down under the weight of constant iteration. That's where Make Grid comes in. Make Grid creates an auto-generated, real-time visual map of a company's automation ecosystem, something Darin describes as a turning point for governance. He explains why this matters now, not later. As companies deploy AI into processes that used to be owned by specialists, Grid provides a shared lens for understanding what is running, who built it, and where dependencies exist. It's an answer to a problem many IT leaders are reluctant to admit publicly, that automation systems often grow faster than oversight systems ever could. Darin also offers a refreshingly grounded take on the psychology of ambitious teams. He talks about the need to prevent "no-code anarchy," a phrase I've heard whispered at conferences, but rarely unpacked with clarity. His view is simple, trust teams to build, but give them shared maps, guardrails, and governance that don't slow them down. That balance between autonomy and oversight becomes even more meaningful when AI is introduced into workflows that touch security, IT performance, and cross-team accountability. Make Grid attempts to solve that balance by showing the automation architecture visually, even when internal documentation has gone stale. So here's the question I want to leave you with, if AI agents can now design, connect, and deploy workflows across an organization, what role will visual governance play in keeping businesses both fast and accountable? And what does good oversight look like when humans are no longer the only builders in the system?
