Ali Mohammed

Ali Mohammed spoke with Energy.Media on behalf of New York Power Authority (NYPA), the largest state-owned utility in the United States. Ali is the head of NYPA’s Digital Transformation Office, which serves as a lab for innovative energy technologies.

In this episode, Ali comments on NYPA’s plan for turning itself into a new kind of utility that leverages technology and customer relationships to optimize electricity supply:

• NYPA sees itself as more than a provider of reliable, affordable electric power. It also works to improve energy efficiency, develop clean energy technologies, and look for solutions that benefit its customers.
• It’s also aware that technological and shifts in customers’ priorities are changing the face of the energy business. For that reason, NYPA has been working since 2014 to transform itself into the first end-to-end digital utility.
• This transformation will involve improving NYPA’s products and services, asset base, and organizational structure to meet customer needs and reflect changes in the energy industry.
