Nick Freeman

Strategic Advisor

About

As a systems thinker, I advise public-interest, utility, and infrastructure stakeholders on distributed energy governance, low-voltage market design, and measurement-first grid modernization. I advocate for interoperability at scale, leveraging a productive synergy of research and applied implementation to connect policy, measurement, and systems architecture. The result is resilient, regulator-ready, impact-oriented solutions that turn complexity into practical progress.
