Hello Earthlings! This week on Earthlings 2.0, we connect with Camus Energy, a company providing a cutting-edge grid orchestration platform designed to help utilities operate and build a reliable, affordable, and zero-carbon grid. Their technology platform enables utilities to navigate the transition to a two-way grid—one that integrates local renewable generation and customer flexibility to achieve decarbonization and affordability goals.

In this episode, Astrid Atkinson, CEO and co-founder of Camus Energy, discusses how their software integrates diverse data sources to provide utilities with a comprehensive view of their grid. She explains how this integration allows utilities to manage the growing complexity of distributed energy resources like rooftop solar, EV charging, and virtual power plants while also preparing for increasing loads due to electrification.

Key Points:

• Utility Empowerment: Camus Energy’s technology equips utilities with a comprehensive view of their grid, allowing them to optimize local resources.
• Data Integration: By consolidating information from multiple sources, Camus Energy facilitates seamless management of grid operations.
• Policy & Standards Matter: Data standardization and innovative policies are essential for scaling resilient and zero-carbon grid solutions.
• Climate Resilience: A stronger, more reliable grid is critical to withstand increasing climate-related disruptions, and swift action is required.
