Happy Spring (or Happy Autumn for our Southern Hemisphere listeners) from Plugged In, your favorite podcast from Guidehouse Insights that goes deep into interesting and emerging sustainability topics.

After a few episodes focusing on power consumption and resource use and how it can affect the grid, you might have the idea that end users of electricity are just that: the end of the chain. But, new technology is allowing buildings to be used as assets for the power grid making them ore reliable and sustainable. To chat about all that, we brought back our most fiery guest, Jared Feuer! Jared is a Research and Analysis Consultant with the Guidehouse Insights Built Environment Team, and was also our star guest all the way back from Episode 12!

Join in as we chat about how big of a fan Jared is of Plugged In. Then we talk more spicy topics, like grid modernization practices, utility involvement in building to grid (B2G) expansion, and which markets are the hot spots for new technologies. We talk the difference between net metering and net billing, and how that affects solar panel expansions. We also talk our favorite alternative milks, documentaries we’ve been watching, and how all of these innovations come back to California sooner or later.
