Welcome Your New Expert Interview Series: Elizabeth Turnbull of Franklin Energy, New Expert in the Utility Management Group - [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
Transportation has been targeted as one of the most critical areas of the energy transition, but the electrification of our roads is not just a matter of swapping out gasoline tanks for charging ports. Instead it represents an intricate dance of technology, infrastructure, policy, and market dynamics that presents both challenges and opportunities. The transformation from traditional fuels to electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates leaders who can navigate the evolving terrains of utility industries and regulatory frameworks with a clear vision and purpose.
One such leader is Franklin Energy’s Elizabeth Turnbull, Director of Market Development, Transportation Electrification. Elizabeth’s work with electric vehicles began over a decade ago and saw her leading EV infrastructure programs from within the utilities. With that experience, she is now guiding transportation electrification best practices with her team at Franklin Energy for stakeholders across the grid and transportation sector alike. It’s also aligned her perfectly to be a part of the Energy Central Network of Experts, providing insights for the Utility Management Group of the vast work still ahead in the transportation electrification process.
In this Power Perspectives interview, Elizabeth delves deeper into the future of transportation electrification, the intertwined goals of the utility industry, and the importance of collective dialogue in driving change.
