Principal Dr. Metin Celebi and Buchanan’s Alan Seltzer recently sat down with Maija Benjamins, Director of Strategic Project Development at Eversource, on a new episode of Alternative Power Plays, “The Story Behind the US’s Largest Underground Electrical Substation.”

In the episode, they seek to answer the question, “What goes into building the largest underground electrical substation in the US, and why is the project so important?” Maija talks about why the collaboration between Eversource and the City of Cambridge was so critical to its successful approval, how Eversource will adapt to the increase in electrical demand for vehicles, and the role Eversource plays in supporting Massachusetts’ clean energy goals.

The Alternative Power Plays podcast series – co-hosted by experts from Buchanan and Brattle – focuses on the latest trends and innovations in energy generation. It features interviews with industry leaders and policymakers who are helping shape the future of alternative energy.
