This is a podcast of three people's lives. Three people from different walks of life, different challenges and paths, and different loves. But they all come together to make your life better, to make your life as New Yorker's full of energy, undisrupted energy. We’re calling this podcast series “Power Jobs” and we will be brining you new installments from time to time.

Welcome to Plugged In, Con Edison’s podcast about all things related to energy. This episode is about how to prepare for natural disasters. We speak to our energy experts about what steps are taken to ensure you have power and a speedy restoration. We also speak with a representative from World Cares Center to learn what you can physically do to prepare yourselves and your families.

Mother Nature can throw more at us than just hurricanes, heat waves, and Nor’easters. Sometimes major storms are from out of this world. Monitoring solar flares is part of Con Edison’s strategy to make sure New York City and Westchester customers have continued reliable energy service. Solar flares release clouds of charged particles that interact with the Earth’s magnetic field creating fluctuations in electricity, known as Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC). Con Edison uses special GIC sensors to monitor unusual currents and uses strategies like early awareness protocols, mobilizing local power reserves to support voltage and de-loading vulnerable transformers to protect them from overheating. “Rain or shine, the sun ultimately calls the shots,” says, Michael Berlinger, a Con Edison meteorologist. “We can’t predict when solar flares are going to happen. But we can anticipate and predict their impact on our equipment once they occur and then do whatever is necessary to keep the power on.” Solar

New York City is under an extreme heat wave, learn about energy savings tips and how the scorching temperatures impact the electric system. We interview two experts who share their knowledge to help you beat the heat and save money.

In this installment of “Plugged In,” Scott Montgomery, an energy expert specializing in East Asia, shares his thoughts on whether the Trump-Kim summit may open opportunities for North Korea to rebuild its energy infrastructure, perhaps with help from China, South Korea and Japan. Montgomery is also a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The energy industry is going through a significant evolution. There is a growing switch to renewables such as solar, battery and other distributed energy resources, and in some cases, a new business model for the energy industry as well.

Con Edison and Orange & Rockland Utilities head to Puerto Rico to help restore power after Hurricane Maria nearly destroyed the island.

The crooks trying to take money from Con Edison customers have shown a new level of resourcefulness this year. The scammers are calling customers and claiming they owe Con Edison a deposit for their smart meter. They then tell the customer to make an immediate payment by Bitcoin or the company will turn off their power. These are lies. Con Edison does not require deposits for the smart meters it is installing at homes and businesses across New York City and Westchester County. The company does not accept payment by Bitcoin. Con Edison does not call customers and demand immediate payment. “These scammers take tens of thousands of dollars a year from our customers by sounding sincere while they lie,” said Jim Duggan, a manager in Con Edison’s Corporate Security department. “We want our customers to be able to recognize signs that someone is a professional criminal trying to steal from them.” Con Edison is joining more than 100 electric, gas and water providers from North America in dedicating next week to e

It's the time of the year when lots of us are making final preparations -- for vacations, graduations, weddings, and summer jobs. A big energy company like Con Edison is busy now too. Making final preps for what is the industry's busiest time of the year, summer, followed by storm season. We interview Con Edison's Senior VP for Electric Operations, Bob Schimmenti to learn about new technology and ways the NYC electric grid is ready.

Wonder Woman isn’t only fighting crime on the big screen this summer. She, and the other Justice League of America superheroes, are taking on criminals who pose as Con Edison employees in the newest storyline on our Con Edison Heroes app: https://www.coned.com/heroes/ Tune in to our latest podcast to learn why we’ve joined forces with DC Comics’ Justice League of America from Customer Operations Senior Specialist Chris Gallo and Diversity & Inclusion Director Nicole Leon.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES SHAPE ENERGY CONSUMPTION Con Edison’s Podcast Powers Through In’s & Out’s #PluggedIn NEW YORK –The energy industry is going through a significant evolution. There is a growing switch to renewables such as solar, battery and other distributed energy resources, and in some cases, a new business model for the energy industry as well. Con Edison’s podcast, called “Plugged-In” takes an insider’s look into several trends: the transition of central power generation, batteries, electric vehicles, stagnant electric demand, and consumer consumption. the podcast, Con Edison’s Matt Ketschke, vice president of Distributed Resources Integration talks about these major trends and what they mean. “Technology is giving us ways to offer our customers new products and services and to keep our system reliable,” said Ketschke. “We want to be a leader in creating in the transformation of our industry We’ve reached a milestone in NYC, producing more than 100 megawatts of clean renewable power – that’s enou

This is a gas safety podcast with Con Edison's senior vice-president of gas operations and Chris Gallo, Con Edison's senior manager with customer outreach. Smell Gas. Act Fast. Gas leaks can create fires and explosions. It's important that you and your family know how to recognize a gas leak and what to do if you suspect a leak. How to Recognize a Gas Leak —A distinctive, strong odor similar to rotten eggs See—A white cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, blowing dust, or vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no reason Hear—Roaring, hissing, or whistling Why Natural Gas Smells Like Rotten Eggs Natural gas doesn’t actually smell like anything. That’s why we add a chemical called methyl mercaptan (methanethiol) to natural gas so you’ll be able to smell it in case of a leak. Mercaptan has a very distinct and unpleasant odor that many people compare to the smell of rotten eggs. What to Do If You Think There Is a Gas Leak If the odor is strong, leave immediately and take others with you. If

This is a discussion about the progress of women in advanced work roles at Con Edison, spearheaded by the movie 'Hidden Figures.' We speak with female engineers and an architect to get insight into how they help encourage other women to in advance their careers.
