Although electric vehicles (EVs) are primarily marketed toward individual drivers, targeting information at commercial fleet managers can be very impactful in the proliferation of consumer EV ownership. With the U.S. pledging to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by...
Natural gas is shrinking the energy industry’s emissions, while utilities continue to improve decarbonization efforts with innovative processes and technological advances. Natural gas has been playing an understated role in limiting climate change by becoming the...
Energy resilience, while vitally important, is becoming more and more challenging in the face of increased extreme weather events which are projected to cause more frequent and longer power outages. The COVID-19 pandemic is further compounding resiliency issues for...
This year’s NRECA PowerXchange conference brought together co-op leaders, board members and solutions providers to exchange ideas and insights about the industry as well as best practices for cooperative operations. HomeServe had the opportunity to attend sessions and...
While it’s intuitive to link the warming of the planet with hotter and longer heatwaves, longer droughts, more wildfires, and heavier rain, the link is less obvious when it comes to an increase in extreme cold events across North America, particularly in areas that...
