385. The Energy Innovation Challenge searching for solutions to integrate solar, wind, and EVs

Our electricity grids were designed to accommodate a few giant power plants. But what happens when millions of solar, wind, EVs, heat pumps and other Decentralized Energy Solutions come online? The Energy Innovation Challenge was created to find new and creative solutions to not only integrate these new energy resources but to turn them into assets in a more robust, clean energy grid of the future. The challenge is being run by Decentralised Energy Canada and the City of Medicine Hat a city that has one of the largest microgrids in Canada - what better place to pioneer to approaches to integration? We take you to Medicine Hat to learn more about solving this vexing challenge. GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Radio Podcast Also see GreenEnergyFutures.ca for more
