Tim Locker interviews Chris Kurtz, a utility industry veteran who recently joined CBM, about trends and changes in the electric utility industry. They discuss the value of technical degrees versus hands-on experience for new utility workers, the transition away from coal towards renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and the challenges of implementing new technologies like electric vehicles, which require upgrades to the power grid.
Chris provides perspective on striking a balance between rapidly adopting new innovations versus carefully vetting them over time. He highlights the need for utilities to invest in training the next generation of lineworkers to maintain and upgrade infrastructure. The conversation covers the complexities of modernizing the grid to enable sustainable power sources while maintaining reliability and cost-effectiveness for customers.
