The winter storms in Texas have caused a critical eye to be drawn toward the state's grid and how it can be upgraded in some areas and reformed in others. Technology is at the heart of these transformations as well as the digital evolution of utilities worldwide.

We also discuss where opportunities are for entrepreneurial -minded folks to make a difference in the industry.
