Why advanced nuclear is becoming an increasingly valued option in the future generating mix, and lessons from public power projects leading the way.

How public power utilities are working with other community organizations and city departments to reduce emissions across the transportation, building, and industrial sectors.

Historically, utilities have used drones by either hiring drone service providers that use professional pilots or starting dedicated aviation units with their utility. But Skydio’s drones are in a different class. They use artificial intelligence to interpret the visual data coming from the six fisheye cameras that serve as the drone’s “eyes.” The drone then uses AI to interpret the visual data and to map out the terrain in which the drone is flying, enabling it to navigate that terrain while avoiding obstacles.

The public power community of Thomasville, Ga., is implementing significant upgrades to its utility management infrastructure using smart grid technology and advanced metering infrastructure.

Silicon Ranch, an independent power producer, and Middle Tennessee Electric, the largest electric cooperative in the Tennessee Valley Authority region, recently announced a solar agreement under TVA’s newly expanded Generation Flexibility Program.
