Mariko Geronim0 AydinCo-founder,
|
Mariko has 18 years of experience in analyzing the policies and economics of electricity system planning, regulation and de-regulation of electricity supply, and wholesale electricity markets across the U.S. Her more recent work has focused on finding sustainable and creative ways to adapt traditional planning processes and analytical tools to an industry rapidly shifting towards cleaner and more scalable supply technologies. Today’s electricity industry still has untapped potential to meet goals of clean energy, cost-effectiveness, and operational and planning flexibility through greater electricity customer engagement, cutting-edge data analysis, and new technologies. To reach this potential with a robust and modern grid, Mariko also works with clients to explore options for evolving utility business models, customer choice, and wholesale market refinements that can make the best use of distributed and customer-driven power supply resources, in synergy with more traditional resources.
Mariko holds a B.S. in Economics and an M.A. in Applied Economics from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
