Epsiode 17 – Brat SumDER

Plugged In: A Guidehouse Insights Podcast

Come along for the 17th episode of Plugged In, Guidehouse Insights Podcast where we go deep into emerging sustainability topics and how they might be all around you!

This episode, we have on Maya Smith, a Research Analyst on Insights Power & Renewables team with a focus on DER (distributed energy resource) technologies and the economic drivers and barriers to them domestically and globally. Her studies in International Economics and Environmental Studies, as well as her passion for rock climbing and all things fish, Maya has a passionate background in all things sustainability that she explores in a multitude of ways.

Throughout this episode, Maya gets into emerging markets and just how policies can help promote effective changes to broaden DERs presence. Self-dubbed our resident “DER money scientist”, she brings intriguing economic insight into the global presence and future growth of DERs. If you don’t get what her title means, what DERs are, and you want to know what Maya’s superpower is, you should probably listen. 2024 Brat SumDER has commenced!
