The world of utilities is becoming increasingly intertwined with the new, innovative digital tools: from artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things to smart technology all across the grid. For power companies that want to ensure reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy remains a possibility, using these tools has been elevated from a neat trend to a certain necessity, and the Energy Central Community Team is always trying to help our community stay on top of this topic.

Transportation has been targeted as one of the most critical areas of the energy transition, but the electrification of our roads is not just a matter of swapping out gasoline tanks for charging ports. Instead it represents an intricate dance of technology, infrastructure, policy, and market dynamics that presents both challenges and opportunities. The transformation from traditional fuels to electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates leaders who can navigate the evolving terrains of utility industries and regulatory frameworks with a clear vision and purpose.

As the world stands on the cusp of an energy transition, traditional sectors are presented with unique challenges and opportunities. The natural gas industry, often at the intersection of debates surrounding decarbonization and energy security, is increasingly leaning on digital tools to reshape its narrative and meet future demands. Modern technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are no longer mere support systems but vital catalysts for innovation and transformation.
