We’re excited to announce that Kate Calloway has joined the truCurrent team as our Administrative Coordinator. Kate comes to us following 8 years at McKinsey, where she rose to Senior Executive Assistant on the Cyber & Real Estate Sustainable Development team. Additionally, Kate is in the final few months of completing her degree in Business Administration, Minor in Communications from the University of Maryland.   Kate’s proven track record of juggling multiple projects simultaneously will be extremely beneficial as she provides support across the truCurrent team, ensuring everyone is set up for success.    Kate asks the question, “What if being organized and efficient behind the scenes is the key to empowering teams to build a more resilient, sustainable future?” Then every project and every step we take in the energy transition becomes smoother, faster, and more impactful.   Please join us in welcoming Kate to the truCurrent team!   #EnergyTransition #TheFutureofEnergy #Sustainability #Teamwork

We were honored to be part of last night's 20th anniversary celebration of Cornell University's Cornell Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise, with Jeff Weiss, Ina Gjika, CITF, Ben Roche, Mark Betancourt, and Yiming Zhong attending the NYC event. Over the years, Distributed Sun and truCurrent have supported the Center and the talent it cultivates in business sustainability, and we’ve been fortunate to hire several of its alumni who have made an impact. We’re grateful for the Center’s ongoing work. We’re especially proud to celebrate one of our own, Executive Chairman Jeff Weiss, who was recognized as one of the Center’s “20 for 20” honorees for his excellence in professional success, leadership, and community involvement. Thank you to the Cornell Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise for two decades of advancing business and sustainability, and for making a positive impact. #Sustainability #DistributedSun #truCurrent #BusinessWithPurpose #20for20 #SustainableEnterprise #CornellCenterforSustainableGlobalEnterprise

In the energy transition, there’s often a tension between doing what’s right for the planet and ensuring the economic sustainability of businesses. But the truth is, these goals aren’t mutually exclusive—they can (and must) work together to drive the transformation we need.   At a recent Climate Week NYC panel hosted by Cornell University, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise, and Green Hope Foundation on the topic of “Balancing Profit & Justice in the Energy Transition,” Jeff Weiss, Executive Chairman of truCurrent and Distributed Sun, emphasized how crucial it is to align financial incentives with clean energy goals. Profit isn’t the enemy of justice—it’s a necessary force for action. We need massive investment and scaling to build a more sustainable future.   If you want to hear the full panel discussion including Jeff’s perspective, check out the video: https://lnkd.in/gqGtdvKD   #ClimateWeekNYC #EnergyTransition #BalancingProfitAndJustice

In today's edition of Utility Dive, Julia Hamm and Chase Weir talk about a "bigger opportunity" hiding within the challenges of distributed energy resources and electrification. That opportunity is largely overlooked, misunderstood, and unprecedented. truCurrent helps utilities and large customers partner to unlock new value streams while solving some of their biggest challenges with win-win solutions at the grid edge. ****** C&I customer needs are rapidly changing. How can utilities maximize their relationship? "When these C&I customers electrify operations, they also are increasingly deploying distributed energy resources to manage their energy costs. Rooftop solar, on-site battery storage and active load management are oftentimes deployed with transportation and industrial process electrification, presenting a much larger and more complex load for utilities. In the blink of an eye, C&I customers have awakened to be the most demanding. #gridmodernization #distributedenergyresources #fleetelectrification #smartenergy #microgrids https://lnkd.in/eeBEhc6P

We’re delighted to welcome Maureen Bitter to the truCurrent team as our Senior Director of Marketing. With over 20 years of experience in marketing across industries that include energy, technology, and finance, Maureen brings a wealth of expertise that will help elevate our company’s mission and vision.   Maureen’s proven track record of positioning brands for success—increasing awareness and resonating in ways that drive action—will be instrumental in ensuring that our customers and partners fully understand how we help companies with their energy transition in ways that futureproof their organization.   Maureen asks the question, “What if we could inspire large energy users to imagine the art of the possible—the seamless integration of electrified fleets, resilient microgrids, and virtual power plants into their operations?” Then these next-gen energy solutions would not only deliver tangible benefits like operational resilience, efficiency, and sustainability, but would ultimately create a lasting impact for both people and the planet.   Please join us in welcoming Maureen to the truCurrent team!   #EnergyTransition #ElectrifiedFleets #ResilientMicrogrids #VirtualPowerPlants #NextGenEnergy #WomenInEnergy #VPP

You can save significant costs, reduce carbon, add flexibility and monetize real estate assets. Oisin excels at creating strategies that convert energy challenges into operationally competitive advantages.   We’re thrilled to be welcoming you to the truCurrent team Oisin. Let’s get building!   #energyasset #fleetelectrification #decarbonization #energystrategy

We're pleased to announce that Caitlin G. joined us today as Policy and Incentives Manager. If you are looking to decarbonize, reduce costs or add operational flexibility with on-site energy assets, then incentives and grants are one of the tools available to accelerate the process. Across federal, state, local, and utility levels, she is well versed in #incentive opportunities for #EVs and EV service equipment, #PV, #BESS, #microgrids, and #VPPs. Caitlin, we’re delighted to have you with us as we support our customers’ energy transition journeys. #incentivemanagement #valuedrivers #DERs #womeninenergy #decarbonization #energytransition

We extend a very warm welcome to Matt Lowry, our new Associate General Counsel. Matt brings a wealth of renewables experience with him, having worked across many aspects of our industry including C&I Solar+Storage development, community solar project acquisitions, tax equity partnerships and ITC transfer sales. When interviewing Matt, we asked him to finish this statement: "IF your company intends to deploy smart energy assets to the grid edge nationwide...". His answer told us what we needed to know: "THEN we can meet clients' ESG goals and monetize the full breadth of distributed assets’ value stack by employing best practice in contract standardization and capital structures". Matt, we're glad to have you on board. #DERs #taxequity #ITC #renewables #projectdevelopment
