Welcome Sean McEvoy, New Expert in the Digital Utility Community- [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
The utility sector, at long last, is modernizing. And in many ways, it appears to be making up for lost time. New digital technologies and capabilities are unlocking unique opportunities for utility providers across the grid. And while sometimes the image this modernization evokes is in new, shiny hardware like meters, generators, and more, some of the most powerful upgrades are taking place on a software basis. In particular, artificial intelligence is bringing about more excitement than ever before for decision-makers at utilities.
But artificial intelligence, or AI, is sometimes difficult to grasp, and when not properly informed, people can be negatively misinformed. Ensuring members of the Energy Central Community can count themselves among the properly educated is one of the desired outcomes of our Network of Experts, and so we’re excited to welcome to that network someone who is greatly plugged into the world of utility AI. Sean McEvoy is the SVP of Energy at Veritone, and he was also recently installed as the latest expert in our Digital Utility Group.
And to start that process, Sean was gracious to participate in our Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’’
