Episode 7: 1-on-1 with Vistra CEO Jim Burke

The energy transition is daunting to incumbent energy companies albeit in very different ways.
Vistra CEO Jim Burke joined Episode 7 of the Texas Power Podcast with Doug Lewin to discuss how the largest electricity generator in Texas is navigating the energy transition and adjusting to a shifting ERCOT market design.
Burke discussed the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act, his technology agnosticism, and Vistras current focus on reliability. He also explored what the ongoing and impending energy transition means for a company that has traditionally relied on fossil fuels and the need to move away from an either/or, overly-simplistic debate in regard to the use of natural gas and renewables.
