Episode 69 is a conversation with Dana Guernsey, Chief Product Officer at Voltus. Dana is an energy markets expert at the forefront of integrating commercial and industrial distributed energy resources into electricity markets across the United States. We talked about how platforms like Voltus are filling the gap between portfolios of buildings on one side and the electricity markets on the other. Each has its own complexity and Voltus is out to smooth that away for building owners in order to capture the value of each building's demand flexibility. Definitely check out Dana's bold take on where building grid-interaction is headed in the not too distant future too.
“The system was originally built to adjust supply, to meet demand. Everything about it was built that way, the market design, the physical infrastructure, everything. Now we're evolving it to also adjust demand to meet supply. Supply is becoming more and more intermittent, demand is becoming more and more flexible.
The whole thing is just getting up-ended and for building owners, they can't just close their eyes and not realize that the building is very much part of that."
