    213: Electricity Doesn't Act Like an Apple

    Gretchen Bakke, a professor of anthropology at McGill University and author of The Grid, discusses the physical and cultural realities of the US power grid. She explains that electricity must be balanced second-by-second, creating challenges as variable renewable sources like wind and solar replace controllable fossil fuel plants. Bakke argues for a shift from centralized, brittle infrastructure to resilient, modular microgrids and smart devices that can manage demand and storage locally.

    The early days of AI on the grid

    David Groarke, managing director at Indigo Advisory Group, discusses the state of AI in the US utility sector, contrasting the current software-driven wave with the failed hardware-focused smart meter rollout of the 2000s. He highlights three key use cases: wildfire management using camera and lidar data, customer propensity modeling to detect EVs via smart meter data, and predictive maintenance of substations. Groarke argues that while full grid automation is a distant goal, incremental AI applications are already delivering value by leveraging existing infrastructure and open-source tools.
