Power and utilities

As US utilities chart their paths to becoming carbon-free by 2050, now is the time to adopt a proactive mindset — and redouble efforts — to make good on net-zero commitments. While the need to take action has become entrenched over the last decade, the incoming administration has signaled clear calls for even more momentous change.

Through realistic scenario modeling, fundamental changes to operating models, and a robust stakeholder engagement plan, utilities can achieve this net zero reality which many would have thought inconceivable in our lifetimes. Goodbye, theory. Hello, action.
