As America’s electric companies work to meet growing electricity demand driven by AI, data centers, manufacturing, and electrification, mileage from flexible generation is increasingly playing a critical role in supporting a diversified energy mix.   

 

On this episode, Eric Holdsworth, who leads the Edison Foundation, is joined by Andrew Phillips, business development manager for Wärtsilä, and Dylan Bearce, senior director of energy resources operations for Tucson Electric Power. They explore how electric companies can get more mileage with flexible, reciprocating internal combustion engines, how these engines differ from traditional models, and their role in supporting grid reliability.
