Electric cooperatives are increasingly looking at whether artificial intelligence can make their operations more efficient and improve decision-making.
Trico Electric Cooperative in Arizona has launched an AI program to help with things like writing, analysis and research. Next year, the co-op plans to start using cross-system AI agents to save time on key tasks and streamline workflows.
On this episode of Along Those Lines, Trico CEO Brian Heithoff and Chief Data and AI Officer James Freeman share details on the next phase of their AI program and how co-ops can approach adopting the technology. We’ll also hear from Venkat Banunarayanan, who leads the integrated grid and AI initiatives for NRECA’s Business and Technology Strategies team, on the current AI landscape for co-ops.
