April 2021
The new energy economy is being driven by the big “Three D’s”, Decarbonization, Decentralization and Digitalization. As a result, a transformation of the energy industry is underway, away from a traditional central station electricity generation model and toward a new asset class of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). This, coupled with the enormous rotation of capital away from the oil and gas industry into renewable electricity generation, energy storage, and cleantech makes for exciting times!
PLMA Vice Chair Rich Barone of TRC Companies and former PLMA Chair Ross Malme of Bowen Advisors, a growth capital investment bank, discuss these and other exciting trends in M&A and growth capital investment in energy tech.

One hundred percent clean energy goals are emerging all across the country and utilities must proactively plan how to drive and support this transformation. To achieve these goals, a combination of utility-scale and distributed energy resources are needed. Puget Sound Energy seeks to design and evaluate DER concepts that will help meet these goals while providing both grid and customer benefits.
To do this, models will need to assess costs and benefits to both customers and the utility. By identifying and developing concepts that offer shared value to both utility and customer, utilities can meet customer requests for DER products and achieve clean energy goals in a more cost-effective manner.
Puget Sound Energy and West Monroe Partners discuss the DER use-case stacking model they’ve developed to create a portfolio of DER concepts. They also touch on the lessons they've learned along the way.

Join the Transportation Electrification Interest Group's inaugural HOT TOPIC Conversation and learn what this new Interest Group is all about!
In this conversation, Joyce Bodoh, Director of Energy Solutions and Clean Energy at Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC), presents REC's survey results and load data on electric vehicles from its Virginia service area. She also discusses REC's roadmap on transportation electrification, and shares tips on member engagement.
The group co-chairs share ideas, thoughts, and suggestions around topical and relevant issues for PLMA to explore throughout 2021. This is a first look at electric transportation and its role in demand response and load management.
