Customer-Focused Mindset Paving the Way to Net Zero

Once the U.S. economy’s single-largest carbon emitter, the electric power sector has embraced ambitious emissions reduction targets on the road to a clean energy future.

In a new article by Edison Electric Institute, Jeff Lewis, Chris Rogers, and Ted Walker, all partners in Guidehouse’s Energy, Sustainability & Infrastructure segment, explore the key innovations and strategies that utilities are embracing as they pave the way to net zero.
