Western Watts Podcast: Godzilla, Meteors and Reliability with Duane Highley

Episode 6: Electric Grid Reliability with Matt Fitzgibbon and Lisa Tiffin

April 14, 2025

What does it really take to keep your lights on—and your power bill low—in a changing energy world?

In Episode 6 of the Western Watts Podcast, hosts Elizabeth Shilling and Julia Perry sit down with Lisa Tiffin, Senior Vice President of Energy Management, and Matt Fitzgibbon, Senior Manager of Planning Analytics at Tri-State. The conversation dives into the high-stakes world of electric resource planning: the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the grid reliable, affordable, and increasingly sustainable. They unpack the challenges of integrating renewables and battery storage, the economic trade-offs of energy decisions, and the essential role local communities play in shaping the future of power.
