Charlotte envisioned as 'the Silicon Valley' of energy grid modernization

The Charlotte region could become "the Silicon Valley" of energy grid modernization, according to a UNC Charlotte professor. Why it matters: Charlotte's growth has created a demand for energy, both in terms of residential use and manufacturing.

This includes grid modernization and infrastructure. State of play: Cox's vision would see UNC Charlotte in a similar position to that of Stanford University in Silicon Valley. This would allow UNC Charlotte to lead "because of partnerships," he says. "If we're going to build affordable and reliable power, we're going to need to be able to train workforce to be able to operate and design," Cox says.
