Is Redding's Power Grid Ready for Electric Vehicles?

Today we connect with newly appointed Redding Electric Utility Director Nick Zettel to discuss his goals for REU moving forward. Nick started with REU 19 years ago and has worked his way up to the Directors seat. He brings a wealth of industry knowledge and, as a Redding native, is proud to work for Redding’s publicly-owned power utility.

We’ll learn how REU is making plans for the increased demand on the power grid from electric vehicles as well as planning for the decrease in other energy sources that’s occurring worldwide.  We will also learn how REU buys and sells power seven days a week, 365 days a year and how that process is especially important for our community in the ever-changing energy market.

With the uncertainty around the current economy, having a locally owned municipal power utility with multiple energy sources including the City’s own powerplant, REU customers are sitting in a more secure spot. And that’s something to feel good about.
