Decarbonizing the power sector attracts most of the energy transition’s attention. While replacing fossil fuel generation with solar, wind, and battery storage is a critical step to combating climate change, it only addresses a piece of the challenge. Modernizing the power grid from interconnected poles and wires to an intelligent and dynamic machine is paramount to meeting the moment.

The digital grid is coming, and just in time. Utilities in the U.S. are still in the early stages of realizing this opportunity, but change is coming swiftly, and their European counterparts have created a blueprint for what that could look like.

Episode 83 of the Factor This Podcast features Arnaud Cantin, senior vice president of digital power at Schneider Electric.

Cantin shares why a smart grid, not only clean power, is crucial for the energy transition. Why do we need it, what it could do, and what’s stopping us?
