On the latest episode of the Electric Wire podcast, we discuss energy storage from a customer angle and review the first “storage as transmission only asset” project being developed in Wisconsin.
First, CFC Executive Director Kristin Gilkes interviews Tom Content, Executive Director of the Citizens Utility Board (CUB), to discuss potential customer benefits from increased use of energy storage and how CUB will evaluate utility storage proposals going forward.
Our second interview is with Bob McKee, Strategic Projects Director at American Transmission Company, who gives an overview of the company’s transmission storage project impetus, timeline, and multi-faceted benefits.
