Green Hydrogen: The Future of Energy Storage - Jim McConville

Between Two Turbines — #09 | Jim McConville In this episode of Between Two Turbines, Senior Operations Director Jim McConville joins host Josh Tate to reflect on the evolution of NAES and explore one of the industry's most innovative energy projects. Drawing from decades of experience in power generation, Jim shares how the company has adapted alongside a rapidly changing energy landscape while remaining focused on operational excellence. The conversation centers on the Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES) project in Utah, where green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy and stored deep within naturally occurring salt caverns. Jim explains how the project works, why long-duration energy storage is becoming increasingly important, and how hydrogen could play a critical role in supporting a more reliable, lower-carbon electric grid.
