Public transportation is vital for local economies, but transportation accounts for 29% of Greenhouse Gas emissions in the US. Decarbonizing public transportation without disrupting operations and services to keep local economies moving is critical to this transition. Listen to this informative webinar to learn more about the challenges and opportunities for public transit agencies electrifying their bus fleet. Hear about:
• Transition experiences from transit agencies on both coasts
• Innovative financing mechanisms and opportunities (Energy as a Service, Public-Private Partnerships, Green Banks/Bonds, FTA Funding and Grants etc.)
• Building resilience to remain operationally flexible and responsive
• Grid flexibility, DERs and becoming a prosumer

Deploying microgrids is a key resilience objective for the DoD. Existing EUL and PPA procurement authorities for microgrids can be combined into an Energy as a Service procurement model. The EaaS model draws from the EUL’s authority to execute land leases for the siting of energy infrastructure (microgrids) on DoD installations. It also draws from the PPA’s authority that enables a energy developer to contract with a DoD agency by selling energy in exchange for its services in financing, designing, building, owning, operating, and maintaining energy infrastructure.

Solution Architect, AlphaStruxure

Maeve Lawniczak is a Solution Architect for AlphaStruxure. As part of the business development team Maeve works closely with clients, external commercial organizations, and internal team members to develop holistic technical solutions that meet the client’s energy needs as well as project timeline expectations, development expenses and overall economics for long-term EaaS opportunities.

Prior to AlphaStruxure, Maeve was Solution Architect for Schneider Electric’s Microgrid Competency Center. Her experience in this role expanded her project development acumen in several areas, from project economics and market analysis to technology selection and risk management. She also managed project proposal processes requiring the alignment of work groups within and outside of Schneider Electric, demonstrating ability to delegate tasks as needed, work under tight deadlines, and adapt to new content in a short amount of time. She supported the development of microgrid projects using specialized software and customized excel models to propose the economics of Solar PV, energy storage and onsite generation such as combined heat and power (CHP) solutions for grid-tied and fully-islandable microgrids.

Maeve has a master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and bachelor’s degrees in Electrical Engineering and Psychology from the University of Tennessee. While attending UT Maeve served as the IEEE Student Branch Chairperson for the College of Engineering and participated in numerous other organizations advocating for women in engineering and technology.
