The company’s leadership in helping utilities manage the changing
energy landscape takes center stage at the event

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DTECH2018—EnerNex,
a leading electric power research, engineering and consulting firm,
today announced its participation in DistribuTECH,
one of the leading transmission and distribution trade shows in North
America. This three-day event will be held on January 23-25, 2018, at
the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

EnerNex’s team (#TEAMENERNEX)
of over ten industry professionals are attending the conference,
including Jeff
Lamoree, CEO, co-founder, Bob
Zavadil, EVP, co-founder, Ron
Chebra, VP of Grid Modernization and Jeremy
Laundergan, Vice President of Consulting Services.

“Our attendance at DistribuTECH underscores our dedication to helping
utilities reshape their strategies and best practices to adapt to the

Vice President of Grid Modernization Ron Chebra: Chair of the
Internet of Things (IoT)/Smart Cities Track

A visionary and expert in the area of grid modernization, Chebra
was selected to Chair the IoT/Smart Cities track. The sessions in this
track will look at some of the technologies and trends that will allow
utilities to live in the interconnected world of smart cities that is
being created through IoT and Grid of Things (GoT). The convergence of
technologies that support modernizing the grid is also bringing
significant value to many communities. Communications networks,
intelligent end devices and being able to extract actionable information
through analytics is helping cities to better manage their assets.
Citizens are starting to see tangible evidence with more and more
communities installing systems to support smart street lighting, provide
assistance with parking space availability and enhanced security
monitoring. Utilities and cities are natural partners to bring mutual
value to customers and citizens.

Chebra will be moderating the 90-minute panel session “Smart
Cities, it Takes a Village” on January 23 at 1:00pm. The smart
cities movement continues to gain momentum, linking connectivity, power,
transportation, water, public safety and IoT to bring value to the
populous. Establishing a champion who can muster all of the diverse
needs of the stakeholders, examining financing options and redefining
processes is no small undertaking. This panel will feature city and
utility champions who will discuss how they were able to make it happen
and share their resulting outcomes. Utilities and communities alike will
be able to hear about lessons learned in bringing these sectors together.

Helping Utilities Manage the Changing Energy Landscape

Recently featured as one of Energy
CIO Insights’ Top 10 Smart Energy Solution Providers of 2017,

technology, economic and regulatory challenges in decades.

Exhibiting this year at booth #908, EnerNex will present its expanding
portfolio of leading grid modernization engagements around the world,
including projects in California, Louisiana, Hawaii and Saudi Arabia to
name a few. Aging infrastructure, regulatory changes and
an increasing array of distributed energy resources are driving a
massive charge towards grid modernization efforts across the nation.
Each and every case is totally different and must be analyzed and
approached according to their specific circumstances. EnerNex has been
front and center in these efforts, including strategy development,
project planning, regulatory engagement, economic analysis, lifecycle
management and technology deployment.
