ABOUT PATTY
Rapid digital transformation has affected the U.S. electric grid just as it has the rest of the world’s economy. Consumers now have more options than ever before to engage with their energy providers or 3rd parties to meet their interests, whether it’s saving money on their power bills, reducing their carbon footprint through energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, or adopting new energy technologies for a variety of reasons. Patty understands residential consumers’ wants and needs in these areas and brings deep knowledge in educating and engaging consumers.
Smart energy is using advanced technologies to create an efficient and sustainable system in which renewable energy production, infrastructures and consumption are integrated and scalable. Many consumers are interested in direct involvement around energy as renewable and EV prices decline and climate change becomes real. Patty can provide guidance in engaging consumers around their values related to energy.
Climate change is happening at an accelerated pace, faster than even scientists predicted. Catastrophic 100 year storm events are happening with regularity, and heat waves and floods shattered records around the world in 2019.
However, climate change cannot be solved without a transformation from 20th century practices of burning fossil fuels for warmth and transportation, to one of digital technologies that allows renewable energy and advanced efficiency. Patty can provide guidance to energy stakeholders on how to communicate the role of smart energy and why advanced technologies are required.
