Welcome to The GISt, a new limited series from Energy Central.
This action-packed podcast demystifies the rapidly evolving world of Geographic Information Systems through focused, expert-led deep dives into the most future-defining GIS topics. Because after endless conversations with all of you—our Energy Central community—about how this kind of tech is mapping not only utilities' strategies, but their futures too, we knew there was more to the story.
We had tons of questions when we set out to make this series:
- How is GIS impacting real-world grid modernization?
- Will GIS change the game for renewables and clean energy?
- Where does GIS most impact critical utility processes related to asset management and data quality?
- Can GIS help the utility industry to better collaborate and work toward a more resilient, more reliable grid of the future?
We wanted to find out, so we called in experts. Every other Thursday for the next few months, we're bringing you a curated, thoughtful deep dive with an energy leader talking about the many ways GIS is changing our industry—for good.
Our first episode is live today, and we’ve got a fantastic primer on all things GIS for utilities with Jazzmen Wilson, host of The GIS Chat podcast.
What’s on tap? A closer look at what kinds of utilities are leveraging GIS to its fullest capacity. An exploration of AI as a catalyst for global tech adoption. And the real rundown on the key players to know in GIS.
