In this episode, Nicole Wilson, Vice President of Economic Development at the Midland Business Alliance, sits down with Avik Dey, President & CEO of Capital Power Corporation.

Avik shares how a mentor first sparked his interest in energy as a truly global industry—one that shapes communities, economies, and even borders. He also reflects on why MCV is so special: a once-mothballed nuclear site that was transformed into one of the preeminent power plants in North America, run by a lean, highly skilled team of about 75 employees right here in Midland.

From AI and data centers to reshoring industry and grid reliability, Avik explains how electricity is now the backbone of economic growth—and why extending the life of MCV through a new long-term agreement with CMS is such an important win for affordability and reliability in Michigan.
