C3 Energy Addresses Transformation of Data-Driven Energy SystemC3 Energy Executive Vice President James Connaughton discussed the broad social, economic, and environmental benefits of the U.S. and global transition to a data-driven energy system and the opportunity it presents for energy policy at the Waking Up to America's Energy Future event today. Prior to joining C3 (News - Alert) Energy, Connaughton served as executive vice president and senior policy advisor at Exelon Corporation and executive vice president of Corporate Affairs, Public and Environmental Policy for Constellation Energy. From 2001 to 2009, he was chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. "Utilities have invested significant resources to modernize the grid, and consequently have access to more dat than ever available before. As we move to a data-driven energy system, utilities need to take advantage of advances in computer science, such as machine learning, to improve energy system operations, efficiency, reliability, and safety," said Connaughton. The event, hosted by Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, Concord 51, and Conservation Leadership Council, brought together key stakeholders to understand how to leverage America's diverse energy resources and technological innovation to grow the economy and create jobs, while also demonstrating environmental responsibility. Connaughton joined Senator Kelly Ayotte, Representative Chris Gibson, Manifest Energy CEO Andy Karsner and the former Mayor of Augusta (News - Alert), Ga., Bob Young on a panel to discuss the policy outlook for the 114th Congress.
