The electrical grid is seeing more demand than ever before, thanks to the growth of industries like data storage and a boom in electrification and electric vehicle adoption. Karina Hershberg of PAE Engineers joins us to explore the changing industry landscape.
For years, buildings have essentially just told the utility industry how much power they need, and the grid has provided it. Now we’re looking at more growth of energy-intensive industries like data storage, and at the same time, we’re seeing even more strain on the grid from changes in the climate, increasing electrification, and growth in electric vehicle purchases. How is our relationship with our utilities changing and what can we do about it?
Check out this episode of the Buildings Podcast for a thought-provoking discussion on how our relationship with utilities is changing and what we can do about it.
