The Platonic Ideal of a Grid - Andrew Myers, Sam Brandin, John Komkov, Kyle Baranko

Show Notes

A future grid won’t be built — it will evolve. In this Type I Summit panel, Andrew Myers (Satoshi Energy), Sam Brandin (Agentic Infrastructure), John Komkov (Fathom Capital), Kyle Baranko (Paces) explore how we move from today’s slow, centralized electricity system to a dynamic, AI-driven grid that’s open, modular, and globally connected. From off-grid gigawatt campuses and HVDC clusters to real-time pricing, dispatchable loads, and marketplaces where AI itself is the marginal buyer of power, this conversation maps the path from legacy infrastructure to a more adaptive and efficient grid.
