Caitlin Smith

In this episode, we sit down with Caitlin Smith, Senior Director of Regulatory, External Affairs & ESG at Jupiter Power, to unpack how policy and technology intersect in the rollout of utility-scale battery storage. Caitlin explains the difference between MW and MWh, how Jupiter’s growing fleet of standalone batteries is reducing emissions and supporting grid reliability, and why Houston will host one of the largest urban battery projects in the country. We also discuss how software-driven dispatch, the IRA, and evolving battery technologies are reshaping storage economics, along with what it means to be a policy entrepreneur and why taking a holistic view of the grid is essential as new energy technologies come to market.
