VEIC Managing Consultant Brian Picariello has been invited to present on VEIC's work deploying a public transportation system powered by a single-user microgrid for Martha's Vineyard Transit Authority and utilizing real-world operational and emissions data to optimize electric bus performance in cold climates. The panel, "Empowering Communities through Beneficial Electrification," showcases the power of beneficial electrification by highlighting its transformative impacts across multiple contexts.

VEIC Senior Consultant Levi Kingery has been invited to present on Future Focus, the emerging technology initiative of Wisconsin's Focus on Energy program administered by VEIC. The panel, "Moving from Demonstration to Deployment" investigates the shifting role of emerging tech in the age of decarbonization, demand management, and grid infrastructure. The next decade requires unprecedented innovation and deployment to scale up and meet decarbonization and grid modernization needs. As states and utilities adopt aggressive decarbonization targets, “emerging technology” programs are no longer simply about demonstrating more efficient technologies; the challenge has broadened in scope and scale to include electrification, grid resiliency, decarbonization, business models, equity and achieving large-scale deployments. Learn about how some of the largest utility innovation programs are evolving from an efficiency-driven, R&D approach to one that includes business models, electrification, grid resiliency, and equity in order to meet the wide-ranging needs of the modern utility portfolio.
