Welcome Jim Giordano: New Expert in the Load Management Community - [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
Originally posted here as a part of the ongoing Energy Central Power Perspectives written interview series I run, interviewing top utility industry experts for the Energy Central Community.
Never has it been so clear that the direction of the utility sector is moving is towards clean energy sources, as we continue to deliver reliable and affordable power in a manner that won't create pollution and long-term climate change. That shift to clean energy resources, though, is one that carries lots of implications. What are the impacts to the grid? What are the best types of generation for each region? How should we handle distributed assets and the rise of the pro-sumer?
Answering these questions amid the clean energy transition is just as important as the idea as the clean energy itself, so it stands to reason that we must continue to look to experts to research and inform the sector about all these questions and more. Luckily, that's where the Clean Power Research has stepped up. And within the Energy Central Community, we're delighted to welcome the organization's CEO, Jeff Ressler, as a part of Energy Central’s Network of Experts, specifically in our Clean Power Group.
Jeff joined Clean Power Research in 2007 and has overseen the inception of numerous software tools at the company designed to spread clean power information to the industry widely. His decade of experience at Microsoft (including speech assistant to Bill Gates) has served to inform him about how these digital tools can unlock the future of clean energy.
To bring the community up to speed on his background and viewpoints moving forward, Jeff agreed to participate in the Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’
