Excellence in Energy
In December 2007, President Bush signed The Energy Information and Security Act, which made it official policy of the United States to support the modernization of the Electric Grid. "We're seeing some fundamental changes in the utility industry that I've never witnessed before," says Rob Wilhite, senior vice president and global lead of Kema's Intelligent Networks and Communications practice. "These changes are most exciting to me because that's when opportunities emerge."
Kema recognized an emerging opportunity about four years ago when it asked Wilhite to put a business plan together around advanced metering and smart grid technologies. Wilhite's plan was so well received by Kema leadership that they asked him to start a practice area around it.
