The Modern Power Company of the Electric Era

The power grid needs an upgrade. With the rise of wind and solar generation, America is producing more electricity at cheaper costs than ever before — yet the electricity we buy is getting less reliable and more expensive.

The aging grid is holding us back. It is not fit to harness today’s renewable energy sources, and is unprepared for future demand from population growth and the electrification of our economy.

To accomplish this feat, we need the best engineers and operators to help us reinvent what a power company could and should do from first principles.
