An EA Response to the Pandemic – Ameren

The Covid-19 effectThe Covid-19 pandemic has affected Ameren much the same way it affected other large, Fortune 500 companies. We too have experienced a sudden need to facilitate work-from-home (WFH) conditions for a significant number of our..

Director - Enterprise Architecture & Resiliency, Ameren

A big takeaway that I think will be engraved into people’s minds will be the need for resilience, which will place a spotlight on business continuity, high availability and fault tolerance as part of everyday planning. You can think of this as before-the-fact planning, as opposed to after the fact. Does this mean that preparation lacked in the past? No, but before Covid-19 it was rather...

Thanks for sharing your experience with COVID. At this stage, we tend to hear about failures of preparedness instead of success. But, there is clearly a success story here. I would very much like to hear more about lessons learned from this, outside the EA sphere, e.g. operations, planning, etc. Did many employees get infected and ill? What steps are being taken...

5 Ways to Flatten the Duck Curve with GIS

Conventional wisdom about customer electric demand will be different. As customer behavior changes, GIS will be there to model it.

Director, Utility Solutions, Esri

I love focusing on these five different tools as all parts to create a holistic solution (though the duck analogy breaks down for me when you tell me to crush his head!). So often you'll hear criticism that energy efficiency isn't enough or that demand response is no silver bullet, but when we have all these options as tools in our toolbox then can together create real change...

Top Innovation Trends in Energy

So, while investments and buying cycles may slow down, I don’t think that COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on longer-term energy developments. It may even lead to increased innovation. The crisis will push further for digitization.

Chief Commercial Officer & General Manager Energy, Intertrust Technologies Corporation

If you look at the demand swings for electricity in a situation like this, they are also pretty low. There is so much baseload electricity consumption, that the delta might be something like a few percent, which is not a big issue at all for a utility company.

From my perspective, the structural changes we face (eg the once that you mention: cleaner, more distibuted, smarter, and I would add electrification of transportation and heating/cooling) are severe and require a sector coupling strategy. Utilities can do this from a base of stability (eg no hard hit by COVID like eg airlines), which is good news for all of us. This will not be a...
