The Future Grid: What the World Can Teach Us

From the Editor

When we set aside regional silos and look across the map with genuine curiosity, we discover that grid operators, regulators, and technology partners half a world away are testing practical solutions to the very challenges sitting on our own desks.

Execution Is the Innovation

Reimagining Project Delivery for Advanced Nuclear

“In many respects, the next breakthrough for advanced nuclear may not be the reactor itself, but how the sector delivers it.”

Scarcity and the Colorado River Basin

Water is for Fighting About

“The drought is so dire that any and every measure must be considered to resuscitate the health of the Colorado River and its water supply. What is clear is that these companies can’t afford the luxury of waiting for the federal government to solve this.”

Troubled Water

Multi-Tiered Approach is Needed

“One of the overriding themes was the critical need for education in addressing distressed water systems. Utilities, regulators, and local leaders must act as educators to bridge the gap between technical infrastructure needs and customer perception.”

Integrated Demand Flexibility

Resolving the Grid Expansion Dilemma

“The planning challenge is to determine how much of that flexibility can be made dependable, locationally useful, and economically comparable with conventional infrastructure.”
