Each October, PUF highlights and celebrates innovators at utilities with our Top Innovator Awards and at our Fortnightly Top Innovators conference.

Edith Clarke’s pioneering engineering and mathematical work in the 1920s and 1930s made it possible to build transmission lines longer than 200 miles or longer, essential for electrifying the western U.S. We named the Top Innovator Award in Reliability after her.

Each October, PUF highlights and celebrates innovators at utilities with our Top Innovator Awards and at our Fortnightly Top Innovators conference.

A Conversation with JEM Smart CEO Spero Mensah: We educated employees and stakeholders on the fundamentals of electrifying a country, raised awareness of challenges and opportunities, and transferred knowledge in areas such as electric company planning, operations, maintenance, customer engagement, communications, and financial management.

“Our team at SCE was awarded the 2024 Nikola Tesla Top Innovator Award in Artificial Intelligence for Advanced Waveform Anomaly Recognition (AWARE) – a software platform that uses AI and machine learning to improve detection and location of faults on the grid.”

“One out-of-this-world option is space, where the sun is always shining. The challenge lies in getting this space-based solar power safely and efficiently back to Earth. EPRI is always looking for ways to innovate as part of the energy transition, and we’ve begun monitoring SBSP research, and advances needed to enable this technology.

Speakers showcased technologies and solutions to reduce carbon emissions, save households money, improve the economy, build resilience, and protect U.S. security interests at the 27th Annual expo, hosted by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute and the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucuses.

“Given the criticality of the Internet, it is important that regulators, service providers, investors, and anyone who is impacted by the Internet understand what the FCC did.”

“The need to modernize and adopt innovative solutions remains critical for these utilities to thrive. Embracing digital transformation and investing in sustainable technologies will ensure they stay competitive and meet evolving consumer demands.”

“A key part of this act is to maintain and promote leadership of the United States and U.S. companies across the world as nuclear energy continues to develop.”
