GRIDWORK is led by Charlie Umberger. He fell in love with the grid transition while running New York City Department of Education's Demand Response program. Building "peakers" via Demand Response led him to Con Edison to take a deep dive into the grid transition. In his seven years at Con Edison, he was involved in all aspects of DER from program operations to forecasting to strategy.
