Glossary of Utility Industry Terms
City of the Future
We speculate a lot about what people want from their cities. But for the most part, the conversations about what people want are based on the perspective of entities with biases about residents’ needs. People in city government assume citizens want more services and for the city to spend more, but suggest there are not enough funds to do what is required. Vendors and businesses believe people want more of what they are selling, and that city government gets in the way. But what do the people truly want? What are they saying they want?
The Grid: Anti-Fragility, Not Resilience, is What We Need
EPRI recently released research focused on Pole top components, vegetation management and more due to the focus that utilities have paid to resilience. Increased need for research and solutions due to the increasing number of superstorm related outages, including one that is battering Florida right now (10/8/2019) with one million customers losing power.
Managing Technological Change in The Utility Industry
The utility that delivers your electricity has always favored stability over agility. This has enabled the utility provide you and I power in a stable, safe and reliable way. There was a time when you and I (the consumer) valued that. We had a contract, both physical and implied, that the utility would supply us with electricity when we needed it and we would pay when we got the bill. The government, with its policies, helped to maintain that contract. Things were fine. And then it wasn’t.
