Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, eyes of the world have been on the resilience of the Ukrainian people in numerous ways. Among those key areas of resilience has come physically with regards to the grid. Reliability and consistency of power delivery is essential for continuing daily life as well as for military operations, so the utility sector has been a critical space to watch. In this compelling episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, the unique challenges and triumphs of the Ukrainian power grid are explored from the first-person perspective, as the podcast welcomes Steve Walsh, Managing Director at Traxys and a former Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps. As an experienced leader in the global power industry, Steve's extensive background from military service to roles in power generation, energy distribution, and renewable energy development all provide a nuanced perspective on the critical intersection of energy and national security. As the discussion unfolds, Steve shares with podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester his insights into the state of the Ukrainian power grid under extreme stress, detailing key challenges and the nation's response. The conversation expands to draw lessons for U.S. utility decision-makers on resilience, supply chain impacts, workforce considerations, and the strategic integration of energy technologies in military contexts. With a focus on Steve's diverse experience across global grids, the episode explores universal truths and unique differences in managing and operating energy systems worldwide. This episode is a must-listen for energy professionals seeking valuable insights into the intersection of energy resilience, national security, and lessons learned from the Ukrainian power grid.
