Michael Goggin Joins Grid Strategies LLC

Michael Goggin, currently Senior Director of Research at the American Wind Energy Associationwill join Grid Strategies LLC to support its mission of integrating and delivering clean energy onto the electric grid and into wholesale electricity markets.  

Grid Strategies LLC Founder and President Rob Gramlich said, "I'm thrilled to continue and grow my collaboration with Michael.  More than anyone I know, he regularly uncovers opportunities for clean energy integration that are consistent with reliable service and consumer benefits.  He will provide research, analysis, and technical and regulatory solutions to grid challenges that I'm sure many organizations will want to tap into."

Michael Goggin said, "I'm excited to apply to other technologies the lessons we've learned from our success integrating wind onto the electric grid. Solar, energy storage, electric vehicles, demand response, and other innovative grid technologies now face the same growing pains wind experienced while growing by a factor of six over the last decade. Everything from grid code standards to electricity market rules need to be updated to accommodate the energy resources of the 21st century."  Grid Strategies LLC is a strategic consulting and advocacy firm helping clients with the integration of clean energy into the electric grid. Celebrating its one year anniversary this month, Grid Strategies LLC has been working with renewable energy, transmission, storage, and environmental organizations on transmission and electricity market policy.  With Goggin, the firm will significantly boost its research, analysis, and technical capabilities.  Goggin has authored nearly a hundred technical FERC filings, has testified before state Public Utility Commissions over a dozen times, served for nearly ten years on key NERC committees including ongoing membership on the Planning Committee, and been quoted in hundreds of press articles and had dozens of letters to the editor published, including in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Gramlich and Goggin began their collaboration ten years ago when Goggin joined AWEA.  They have been working with regulators and other policy makers, utilities, and renewable energy organizations on grid transformation since then.
