Why Electric Cooperatives & Municipal Utilities Are Poised to Lead the DSO Transition
We have heard the calls for advancing community-centric grid operation. And who knows their communities better than co-ops and munis?

How to unlock the potential of virtual power plants? Virtualize the grid.
The tech to create virtual power plants is here, but how do we unlock their full potential? Software platforms that "virtualize" the grid can help.
The Power of Data: Lessons from “The Rise of Local Grid Management”
Data is king. That’s one of the many takeaways explored in the recent webinar with Camus Energy and Kit Carson Electric Cooperative on the rise of local grid management.
KCEC and Camus Energy: The Rise of Local Grid Management
Join our member webinar Wednesday, December 16 when Camus Energy and Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) discuss the Rise of Local Grid Management.
Why We Love Working With Electric Cooperatives
We love working with electric cooperatives because they are uniquely positioned for the transition to a cleaner and more equitable power system. Here's how.
The Rise of Local Grid Management
At Camus Energy, we have heard the calls for advancing community-centric grid operation. We know the best version of the grid is one that leverages both local and bulk resources to meet community needs. And who knows their communities better than co-ops and munis?
Camus Energy and VMware
At Camus Energy, we believe that industry collaboration through open source software will become a key part of the decarbonized grid. We are happy to announce that we have put that philosophy to work in a partnership with VMware.
Why is Camus developing Open Source?
We started Camus to contribute our software expertise to the most important problem of our lifetimes. Technology can be a powerful enabler for change, and we are bringing open source from the software industry to the grid.
Internet Lessons for DER Architecture
At Google I helped define a distributed computing approach which scaled us more than 10,000x. As the grid makes a similar jump, from 1000s of reliable generators to millions of unreliable participants, what can we learn?
Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Inc.
One of the privileges of working with great partners like Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Inc. is the opportunity to join their conversation with the local community. We were excited to meet recently with Net Metering Advisory group and Renewable Taos to share our work on understanding and managing the role of local solar generation in KCEC’s grid.
Reflections on Internet Scale Systems and Applications in Grid Management
We just finished sharing thoughts on large scale monitoring and telemetry with MISO, and I wanted to share a few reflections on applying lessons from internet scale systems to managing the electrical grid.
Our Response to COVID-19
Some of us have operational response backgrounds, which is helpful in small ways. We are used to handling crises and feel more in control when we have a plan. We had already sent people home before the shelter in place order came in.
The Unsexy Valley of Applying Tech to the Energy Transition
The grid space is behind the curve in adopting contemporary software technology. The last ten years have seen a computing revolution - the cloud isn't just about using other people's computers, it's about using effectively unlimited computing power to solve the hardest problems.
Welcome to the 2020s: A message to the Camus Energy team
The role of private sector innovation has never been more important. Dropping costs of renewables are finally beginning to drive a change in new energy investment, but the additional pressure on the current grid is producing negative impacts as well as opportunities. 2019 was the year in which California's biggest utility intentionally cut power to millions of people during a critical fire danger event.
