Episode 4: On the Grid (w/ Guillermo “Memo” Rico)
Welcome to the fourth episode of Rock Talk: From the Ground Up. I’m your host and co-owner of Texas Rock Milling, Trey McCarty.
In this podcast, we dig deep into the foundations of growth, creativity, and the opportunity of South Texas. Our goal, as always, is to hear from inspiring people who are shaping the future of San Antonio from the ground up.
Today’s guest is someone who keeps the lights on, literally! When the Texas heat is breaking records and new homes are going up faster than ever, he’s one of the people making sure the grid doesn’t tap out.
Guillermo “Memo” Rico is the Reliability Policy Manager at CPS Energy in San Antonio. If you’ve ever wondered how a growing city like this keeps the power flowing through chaos, development, and triple-digit summers, then Memo is your guy.
In this episode, you’ll hear some logistics of the ever-growing San Antonio grid, how batteries can help pick up the slack in grid demand, ways consumers can get smart about their energy usage, and more!
