On this week's Interchange podcast, we sidle up to some adult beverages in a back room at GTM's grid edge conference to discuss the biggest topics in the industry.

First, artificial intelligence and machine learning: What do we exactly mean by "distributed intelligence?" We'll examine some clear use cases.

Then on to utility innovation: How do power incumbents grapple with the technologies that could break open their business models? We'll give a candid take on how they're doing.

Finally to GE, Siemens and other industrial giants: Have power generation leaders — even those heavily invested in clean energy — completely underestimated renewables?

Stephen and Shayle are joined by David Groarke, the managing director at Indigo Advisory Group.
