Can GIS reimagine the energy transition?

I served as the host of Energy Central’s limited podcast series ‘The GISt,’ all about the world of Geographic Information Systems and their use in the power sector.

Here’s episode 3:

“The transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy reality is a massive undertaking—and we all know by now that massive undertakings require a LOT of data.

So today on The GISt, we’re exploring how utilities and energy innovators are leveraging GIS to help integrate renewables into the existing grid to make it more diverse and more reliable.

We want to get the most out of our renewables investments…and GIS could be the key to doing so.

About our guest: Anthony Saylor is GIS Manager for The Ray, a company that aims to transform the transportation infrastructure of the future by building net-zero highways. They’re utilizing solar-powered EV charging, right-of-way solar, climate modeling, a vehicle-to-everything data ecosystem, and more—tons of cool tech powering the future, and much of it brought to life by GIS.”
