Description

Brattle Group principals Peter Fox-Penner and Tom Chapman join host Francis Bradley to discuss the report "Clean Capital Efficiency," which addresses challenges and solutions in the electric utility sector. They talk about rapid load growth, affordability, decarbonization, the impacts of climate change, as well as the rise of data centres and the additional pressure on demand as a result. Solutions include leveraging existing technologies, integrated distribution planning, and exploring public-private partnerships to address these challenges. They close the conversation with a couple of great book recommendations.
