Topic: Energy Triangle: Pressure and Possibility – Episode 15 of Power Players by Origis® 

Moderator: Michael Eyman, Managing Director, Origis Services 

Guest: Cristin Lyons, partner and head of ScottMadden’s energy practice 

The energy market faces both new pressure and possibility as the U.S. integrates more renewables into the grid. In Episode 15 of Power Players by Origis®, host Mchael Eyman discusses the pressures on the generation and demand side of the equation with Cristin Lyons, a partner and head of ScottMadden’s energy practice. 

During their conversation, Lyons and Eyman discussed the pressures on generation and transmission during this transition. Three key takeaways: 

1. It’s no longer enough for utilities to provide reliable and affordable electricity. Customers are increasingly demanding clean energy. 
2. Customers have a bigger voice in generation and policy than they historically have. 
3. To meet the rapidly increasing demand for electricity, all stakeholders must find ways to work together, meaning current regulatory models may need to change.
