Electrification is accelerating across the country — from heat pumps and high-efficiency HVAC to EV fleets and solar microgrids. But one critical question remains: Is our infrastructure ready?

In this forward-thinking episode, we sit down with Jordan Lerner, Vice President of the West Region at Schneider Electric, to unpack the realities behind electrification, grid capacity and what true energy resiliency looks like in practice.

We discuss:

• Why “the negawatt is cheaper than the megawatt” — and what that means for HVAC professionals

• How electrifying buildings and fleets impacts switchgear, service entrances and utility coordination

• Creative funding strategies, including on-bill financing and public-sector grants

• The growing role of solar, battery storage and microgrids in building resiliency

• Why ...
