Episode 1.12 On Interoperability and Breaking Down Stovepipes with Lori Wright

Power Flow

Lori Wright is helping to solve tomorrow's problems today. She is a lawyer working in technology - often energy technology - and helping developers, designers, and innovators build systems that will stand the test of time.

She focuses on issues of cybersecurity and interoperability, topics that are often hard for implementers to stop and think about. Lori brings a long-game perspective on how the decisions we make today help or hinder the clean energy future, and we'd all do well to pay attention.

Quotables

“Just because we can't solve it to the end doesn't mean we shouldn't start solving.”

“What's going to move solar into the future is market certainty.”

“Energy, like anything, is powered by data. Everything is going to be interoperable and we should just plan for that.”

“How do you predict the future? You look to the current and you look to the past.”
