After speaking, sponsoring, and connecting with industry colleagues at 11 events in 2023, Uplight is excited to announce its conference line up for the first quarter of 2024. We’ll be discussing AI’s role in customer engagement, how our strategic partnerships are helping accelerate the clean energy transformation, and more! Uplight will also be hosting social events to connect with industry colleagues and celebrate the progress we continue to make towards decarbonizing the energy grid.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be chatting with different leaders in the industry to get their perspective on the opportunity for demand-side solutions in the clean energy landscape, as well as their take on the recent announcement of Uplight’s planned acquisition of AutoGrid. Today, I’m talking to Brandi Davis-Handy, Chief Customer Officer, US Utilities at AES.

As often as battery-electric vehicles are in the news these days, it’s easy to forget that only about 2% of Americans own a BEV, according to Kelley Blue Book. But, with 36% “seriously considering” buying or leasing one, a lot of car owners are about to jump into this brand-new driving and charging experience. By 2033, BEV sales will dominate new-vehicle sales – five years sooner than experts previously anticipated.
