Season 7 Episode 15 – Jigar Shah, Audrey Zibelman, Herman Trabish

Our Big 100th Episode Tackles the Big Questions for Today’s Grid

Can electricity become more affordable and reliable without fundamentally changing how we plan and invest in the grid? Bryce Yonker sits down with Jigar Shah (Energy Empire), Audrey Zibelman (Zibelman Energy Advisors) and Herman Trabish (Utility Dive) to wrestle with some of the industry’s toughest questions. They discuss: 

  • how AI and distributed energy resources could transform grid operations,
  • how the industry can rebuild public trust amid rising electricity costs and reliability concerns,
  • why more coordinated grid planning is essential to managing costs,
  • whether traditional electricity rate structures need to change and who should pay for grid investments,
  • how to strengthen domestic energy supply chains and reduce investment risks,

…and much more! Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear four grid veterans paint the really big picture for our energy system on GridPulse.
