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.
