As #AI gets bigger, more powerful and more hungry for electricity, some advocates say the best way to ensure reliability and fairness is to regulate the industry the way electric and gas companies are. Here's my colleague Raghu Madabushi's take.

We’ve reached an important milestone in our journey toward the future of energy. And it’s not just about the amount invested: those dollars have unlocked more than $3 billion in follow-on funding for our startups.

Distributed energy and virtual power plants are essential to meeting today’s power needs without waiting for new infrastructure to be built. Jigar Shah and @JeffMarootian spoke very knowledgeably about this at our NextGrid Alliance recent summit.

All of us are wishing our friends in Southern California security and safety.

The NextGrid Alliance is a critical part of scaling startup innovation across the global utility industry. The team’s put together some great topics and speakers for this event.

In the wake of the Great Recession, Courtney Geduldig (aka courtney geduldig) co-wrote a well-received book about #startups. This week, she and other senior National Grid leaders are in Silicon Valley for a deep dive into the #innovation ecosystem. So we asked her... +++

You're going to see exciting things from this startup.

Our thoughts are with Andre’s family. He was a brilliant colleague who was instrumental in the success of National Grid Partners.

All month long, we're celebrating the trailblazing women who transformed the energy landscape against all odds. From the first female electrical engineers to solar pioneers and powerline workers, women have been lighting the way forward for generations.

A good read here by my colleague Raghu on how #utilities can leverage #AI and #innovation:

Clean energy needs a modern grid. TS Conductor's breakthrough tech boosts transmission without costly new infrastructure . ⚡🚀 Watch Jason Huang’s TED Talk on how next-gen conductors are reshaping the grid: bit.ly/4hMlP0U

I've said before that LineVision's technology is -- to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke -- as close to magic as anything I've seen in my 30 years in the utility industry.

Very exciting potential in this startup's technology.

“AI can now see a thunderstorm before it forms.” That’s not hype. That’s what Tomorrow.io is doing—today. The Financial Times just featured us in a deep dive on how generative AI is rewriting the rules of weather forecasting 🌍⚡ Why it matters: → Climate extremes are

Our own Gerard Kelly, vice president of Innovation and Venture Acceleration, will be among the business leaders on hand tonight when @NVIDIA kicks off #LondonTechWeek with the first U.K. Sovereign AI Industry Forum: blogs.nvidia.com/blog/uk-ai-vis…

Spanish officials say they've tracked down the cause of one of Europe's biggest power outages. Could the same thing happen in your community? Read Stephen Harle Smith's thoughts: linkedin.com/pulse/resilien… via LinkedIn

Our portfolio company TS Conductor is changing the game. Their AECC (Aluminum Encapsulated Carbon Core) technology can double or triple transmission capacity on existing towers. It's like upgrading from dial-up to fiber optic - but for power lines! 🔌

Very exciting startup here – with the potential to move 10X as much power through existing rights of way. Keep an eye on them.
