Alphabet’s X lab reveals project to develop technology for power grids SHARE Alphabet Inc.’s X moonshot unit is working on a project to develop tools that can help utilities monitor and predict activity on their power grids. The project was announced this morning by X Vice President Audrey Zibelman during remarks at the White House Leaders Summit on Climate. Zibelman joined the Alphabet unit earlier this year to lead its power grid moonshot after a several-year stint as the Australian Energy Market Operator’s managing director and chief executive officer. The executive earlier was the chair of the New York Public Service Commission.
