About Zinnia

I help utility and energy teams think through electrification and demand side management programs that shift usage in useful ways. I will ask what specific load or peak problem the program is meant to address before discussing program design, because demand side programs designed without a clear load target often underdeliver. Expect a practical, load focused conversation over general electrification enthusiasm. Best fit if you are actively designing or evaluating a real demand side program.

  • Identifying the specific load or peak problem to address
  • Designing rate structures that shift behavior
  • Understanding general demand response program concepts
  • Structuring electrification incentives realistically
  • Measuring a program's real load impact
  • Structuring incentives that change real behavior
  • Understanding general demand response mechanics
  • Sequencing an electrification incentive rollout
  • Measuring real load impact, not just enrollment
