The digital world may be driving much of the growth in electricity demand, but physical limits are shaping how the industry responds. And few limits are more apparent than the shortage of transformers.

Columnist Dej Knuckey says there’s no doubt AI can be exponentially faster, smarter, and more innovative and efficient than the current workforce, but can it be reliable?

Residential electricity bills have moved from being background noise in discussions about resource adequacy, decarbonization, and transmission expansion to being the loudest political and business risk, says Dej Knuckey.

Climate risk no longer is simply an environmental problem. It’s a governance, planning, and management problem. And it sits squarely on the desks of utility executives, system operators, and policymakers.

Drought is a systemic threat to the electric grid, writes columnist Dej Knuckey. Like other weather extremes, it undermines supply, drives up costs, and exposes weaknesses in infrastructure planning.
