The group session will include presentations on \u201cThe Reuse of Electric Vehicle Batteries for Grid Scale Energy Storage by Utilities in Europe\u201d by Mark Bailey of Connected Energy, \u201cThe Aggregation of Wind Farms and Other Renewables in Europe\u201d by Tobias Weghorn of Next Kraftewerke, and \u201cEstablishing DER Flexibility via a Decentralized Energy Exchange Platform in both Australia and the UK\u201d by Andrew Tanner of GreenSync.<\/p>\n<p>The PLMA Global Load Management Interest Group brings together energy industry professionals interested in developing new activities for PLMA members from outside of North America and offers a chance to connect with international energy companies and technology providers interested in the work of PLMA. The group is co-chaired by Jon Hilowitz, Orange and Rockland Utilities; Scott Coe, GridOptimize, and Ross Malme, Skipping Stone.<\/p>\n<p>PLMA\u2019s national conferences, presented in spring and fall, provide a forum for practitioners from energy utilities, solution providers, and trade allies to share dynamic load management expertise, including demand response (DR) and distributed energy resources (DER). For two decades, PLMA conferences, educational programs, and networking opportunities have brought member organizations together to develop, implement, and share proven practices in a peer-to-peer network \u2013 offering load management leadership for the energy industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPLMA has been the global thought leader in the demand response space for two decades, and we are now expanding our focus to the flexible load management space, particularly with innovation within the international energy community,\u201d said Jon Hilowitz of Orange and Rockland Utilities and PLMA Global Interest Group Co-Chair.<\/p>\n<p>Tobias Weghorn of Next Kraftwerke added, \u201cThe energy transition to renewable energy production is posing a challenge to system operation worldwide. One approach to effective renewables integration which has proven itself in various European markets is the Virtual Power Plant. We look forward to the exchange of perspectives and best practices from two quite different energy markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support that has been shown for the Global Load Management Interest Group from the international community and our US DR technology providers is gratifying and continues to guide the direction that our program agenda takes,\u201d commented Ross Malme, a Group co-chair and Skipping Stone Partner. \u201cWe are pleased to continue to bring timely, informative discussions to the PLMA membership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more and register for the Global Load Management Interest Group activity and the 40<sup>th<\/sup> PLMA Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peakload.org\">www.peakload.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>-end-<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>About PLMA.<\/strong> PLMA (Peak Load Management Alliance) is a non-profit association founded in 1999 that serves over 160 member organizations as the Voice of Load Management Practitioners.\u00a0 PLMA seeks to advance practical applications of dynamic load management and distributed energy resources by providing a forum where members educate each other and explore innovative approaches to program delivery, pricing constructs, and technology adoption.\u00a0 Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peakload.org\">www.peakload.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Connected Energy<\/strong>.
