It was wonderful to join Utility Analytics Week 2024 in Chicago and share insights on how federal awards and grants can help utilities unlock clean energy investments in energy efficiency and electrification. By leveraging various U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s programs at the Office of State and Community Energy Programs | U.S. Department of Energy, Grid Deployment Office | U.S. Department of Energy and Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER), utilities can modernize their infrastructure and enhance grid resilience against extreme weather events. The opportunities for innovation through federal support are immense, and I was thrilled to discuss case studies where these funds are driving transformative change. Looking forward to seeing how these collaborations advance our clean energy future! #CleanEnergy #UtilityAnalytics #EnergyEfficiency #Electrification Utility Analytics Institute (UAI) Gina Weber David Pope Jim Magnanini Rick Sina Eddie Shannon Landon Bandy
