Listen "Godzilla, Meteors and Reliability with Duane Highley"
Episode Synopsis
Join Tri-State's CEO for the second installment of his three-part interview to discuss something near and dear to his heart: reliability planning as it relates to increased demand, extreme weather and prehistoric reptilian monsters.All jokes aside, reliability is the driving force behind what Tri-State does for our members. Duane has been at the forefront of reliability planning and figuring out how to keep the lights on, no matter what. Duane also breaks down resource adequacy and how recent major storms have completely changed the model. In addition to reliability, cooperatives like Tri-State have to balance cost in order to keep power affordable for our neighbors at the end of the line. Here, Duane dives into how powering communities is personal to him and his team. There is a real sense of authenticity within the co-op model because of the respect for the people he’s doing this work for. Like, subscribe and share with a fellow energy user!
