EnerBLOG

Welcome to EnerBlog. We’re here to cover the future of energy and the technologies and policies that will take us there, all through the prism of those within the energy industry. EnerBlog is managed and edited by Jim Hutton Johnson and Phil Martin, who also write for EnerBlog along with a team of our colleagues. We both work for EnerNOC, a leading demand response and energy management firm that is changing the energy landscape by producing and selling negawatts instead of megawatts. In our roles at EnerNOC, we work with utilities to deploy virtual power plants in place of traditional supply-side resources, giving us rare insights into the needs and desires of America’s electric utilities. We’re also familiar with electric market design and energy policy from our involvement in regulatory efforts around the country.

Sitting at the intersection of technology, markets, and policy, energy issues are fascinating but complex. Through EnerBlog, we hope to analyze developments that others can only report on, and provide a resource that doesn’t require a PhD to understand. We’re excited to have this opportunity to cover such an important and interesting topic and we hope that you’ll join us as we follow the future of energy.
