What if the young people in your community became your utility's biggest advocates?

We know youth engagement can feel like a "nice-to-have" rather than a strategic priority. But forward-thinking utilities are discovering that early energy education creates lasting community relationships, builds future workforce pipelines, and transforms how families think about their public power provider.

That's why APPA is partnering with Monster Detective Collective to bring you a podcast that goes beyond feel-good activities to strategic youth engagement.

Many public power entities want to protect their customers from rising transmission costs while also meeting the increasing demand for power and integrating new resources.

In this podcast, you will learn more about the array of technologies available today to expand transmission capacity, efficiency, and reliability at a much lower cost and speed than new construction.

Leaders at the Department of Energy have said that these technologies are a top priority in the last round of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grid funding. Speakers will discuss how public power transmission owners can fund their own deployments and how transmission-dependent utilities can push for grid modernization.

Learn how 3B Protection is redefining perimeter security with its innovative smart perimeter solutions and advanced line of sight engineering technology.

The speakers will walk you through real-world applications, system capabilities, and how 3B’s customizable solutions can meet your site-specific needs—without breaking your budget. You will discover how proven ballistic- and blast-resistant systems integrate with strategic engineering to eliminate vulnerabilities, enhance situational awareness, and provide unmatched protection against modern threats.
