Welcome Nick Meeten, New Expert in the Utility Management Community- [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
For too long, the energy industry has been mired by a tendency to operate in siloes. Whether that was internally within a power company where departments weren’t fully collaborating, across a region where power companies weren’t sharing as much as they could or should have, or even in the industry more widely when energy production is too separated from related fields, these artificial walls built up only serve to slow down potential progress and learning.
At Energy Central, we’re always striving to break down these walls, to connect those siloes, and to create true collaboration among our community members. Recently, we had the opportunity to add to our Network of Experts someone whose role and daily job is a bit outside the box when it comes to Energy Central members, but one operating in a silo from which the rest of the sector would surely benefit. We’re welcoming to the Utility Management Group Nick Meeten, Director at Applied Energy.
Specifically, Nick works in thermal energy usage within buildings and industries, including thermal energy recycling from wastewater. So while he’s not a professional working at one of the major utilities, the insights he has and the innovation he brings create newfound opportunities from which those in utilities can really benefit. And to start that process, Nick was gracious to participate in our Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’’
