Grid modernization refers to changes needed in the power grid to accommodate all the rapid technological changes happening in the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. In particular, grid modernization often implies the increasing application of sensors, computers and communications, that is, increasing the intelligence or ‘smarts’ of the grid but the main goal is still the flexibility needed to adapt to the whole range of new technologies in the grid.
Grid Modernization & Broadband is focused on expanding and updating our region’s existing energy grid and broadband access. This sector creates blue-collar jobs while also providing the necessary infrastructure for future regional growth.
