Fin-Erth Women in Climate Energy Transition Leaders
Welcome to our new conversation series spotlighting the remarkable leaders recognized by Fin-Erth, a curated community for women in finance, investment, law, policy, law, innovation and business, in its latest annual list of energy transition leaders. These innovators are reshaping the global economy with bold, forward-thinking solutions.
In this episode, Linda-Eling Lee, head of the Institute, speaks with Page Crahan, general manager of Tapestry at X, The Moonshot Factory for the electric grid. They discuss work by Crahan and her team on behalf of Chile’s independent system operator Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional to accelerate the country’s energy transformation.
Their breakthrough? Software that uses AI to expand the scenarios energy planners can model by 30x and accelerate simulations by 90%
A striking achievement, and, as Crahan says, a reason for optimism. “That should give us a lot of optimism about what we can all do as a community to make it easier to plan the energy infrastructure we need for our future,” she notes.
