[Interview]: Application and Adoption of AI in the Electric Sector

This week we had a chat with J. William Andrew, (Bill), President and CEO of Delaware Electric Cooperative located in Greenwood, Delaware, who educated us on what is the state of AI in his company, and how and why AI is important in the Electric sector. He also told us about different application and the future of AI in Electricity. TAI: How do you rate new / emerging technology adoption by electric co-ops? Why? Andrew: The simplest way I can explain my vision of the importance of the adoption of new technologies is that "The next level of reliability and operational efficiency will not come from adding linemen and bucket trucks but will come from technology adaptation". We must adapt to the wants and needs of our members.
