Seven ways NAU and SRP are helping build stronger utility systems in Arizona
The utility grid is changing. Electric vehicles mean greater demands on the grid at less predictable times and mean that fueling stations are going to look different in the coming decades. Wildfires and invasive plant species are putting watersheds at risk. To ensure that water and electricity still gets to Arizonans, NAU and the Salt River Project have partnered on a number of research projects that tackle the specific problems SRP is facing in Arizona. Learn more about how these researchers are tackling water quality, how to build an electrical grid that can handle the EVs and the importance of rehabilitating the “living skin” in desert ecosystems that have been overrun by invasive plants.
