The electric grid is entering a new era. After years of relatively flat electricity demand, utilities are now planning for rapid growth driven by AI, data centers, electrification, and domestic manufacturing. The challenge isn't just delivering more power, it's doing so quickly, affordably, and in the face of tremendous uncertainty.
In this episode of The Switch, Julieta Giraldez speaks with Tanuj Deora, Vice President of Commercialization at SparkFund, about why the industry needs new ways to think about resource adequacy and grid planning. Drawing on his experience spanning public policy, the White House, utility strategy, and grid-edge innovation, Tanuj explains how distributed capacity can complement traditional infrastructure investments by adding flexibility to the system.
The conversation explores uncertainty, affordability, innovation, and why the future grid will be built with a broader set of tools than ever before.
