Episode 16 - Generation 101

Plugged In: A Guidehouse Insights Podcast

Come along for the 16th episode of Plugged In, Guidehouse Insights Podcast where we go deep into emerging sustainability topics and how they might be all around you!

This episode features Megan Kuc, an Associate Director in Guidehouse’s Energy Practice. Megan’s background in cost and performance benchmarking and analysis of energy management solutions is used for fossil and hydro generating stations. With 20 years of experience in this industry, she is bridging knowledge and analysis of traditional fossil fuels and their transition to renewables.

Piggy-backing off last month’s episode, we wanted to get back to the basics: Generation 101 if you will. In this episode, Megan goes through the fundamentals of energy generation that we all like to think we understand. Like how electricity is generated, how that process changes with certain renewable energies, and how we then transmit that energy to people’s homes. Beyond these elements, we get to hear how data empowers her work and how she makes numbers become animated story tellers of the future. Not to mention, the cool travels she gets to take view behind the scenes of generation facilities!
