Jeff Gleeson, Chief Product Officer at Renew Home, will be a keynote speaker at the 2025 Smart Energy Summit, co-located with DISTRIBUTECH, taking place March 25–26.
In anticipation of the event, Jeff shares his insights on consumer expectations, improving grid management, and more.
How are energy providers responding to consumer demand for greater visibility and control over their energy use?
Consumers do care about their energy use – they just don’t want to be overwhelmed. The key is balance. People want control, but they need simplicity. That’s why smart energy solutions should focus on what really matters: savings, sustainability, and reliability.
What partnerships are driving the adoption of energy management solutions, and what barriers remain?
The future of energy management adoption starts in the home. We believe that when you help people save and focus on customer experience, you aggregate those individual experiences to a large-scale, impactful resource.
How can energy providers balance grid reliability, sustainability goals, and cost efficiency while keeping consumers engaged
Customers engage when they see real value – starting with savings. A modern, grid-responsive VPP goes beyond emergency response to help customers use energy more efficiently all the time while always keeping them comfortable and in control. We have seen that when we focus on customers first, we see higher enrollment and better retention.
