Electricity demand is rising faster than new generation and transmission can be built. Active efficiency—through demand flexibility, controls, and smarter operations—helps utilities expand usable capacity at a fraction of the cost of new infrastructure.

Energy prices in the U.S. can swing wildly during extreme weather like we’ve had this Winter across much of the nation due to supply–demand imbalances, and peak-hour stress on the system.

My first job in the energy sector wasn’t in policy or planning. It was taking customer payments.

 

The future of the U.S. electric grid isn’t just about building new power plants or transmission lines; it’s about making the energy we already have go further. That means leveraging the untapped flexibility in our homes, buildings and businesses.
 

You hear about Teslas and solar panels - but your windows might be the real MVP during a hot summer day. Many people are lured by the temptation to buy electric cars or install solar panels on their roofs, wanting to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
