Ep. 1: Powering Through the Pandemic

By EPSA

It’s been over one year since COVID-19 brought the world to a halt – but our power grid stayed strong. What did it take to keep the lights on? And how are system planners preparing for new challenges including more renewable resources, increased electric demand from cars and buildings, or the next extreme event? You’ll hear from Rich Dewey, the head of New York state’s electric system and Joseph Petruzzi, a shift supervisor who was sequestered onsite, away from home and loved ones, for almost three weeks at Eastern Generation’s Astoria power plant.

Follow along with a transcript of the episode here.
