As climate action accelerates, the existing electrical grid plays a central role in decarbonizing our energy supply. We know that software can transform how we manage networks - now we need to take what we've learned, and apply it to managing the grid. Bringing software innovation to critical real-world infrastructure requires careful attention to reliability - moving quickly, without breaking things. How do we leverage experience with high reliability innovation in big tech, to transform our energy system and decarbonize the grid?
