Reforming the Energy Vision, REV Connect, is a New York State initiative that brings together utilities and companies to build a cleaner, more affordable, and resilient energy system through innovation and efficiency. It creates a space for third parties to submit partnership ideas and to receive expert direction and feedback, by matching ideas with utilities to advance New York State’s Energy system.

Now an award-winning project, REV Connect did not come without lessons and challenges for the teams that created it. In a series of Public Utilities Fortnightly articles, Guidehouse explores the different aspects of what has made REV Connect a success and how the REV Connect model is being applied in other states.
