designed to facilitate creation of effective new energy programs and
strategiesfor businesses, utilities, and communities,
alike. "Smart energy" is an emerging high priority for a variety of
organizations seeking to address escalating energy and pollution costs
and regulatory demands by equipping users to understand and proactively
manage energy consumption.

climb, so has interest in innovative solutions that allow organizations
to better understand how they can optimize their energy use and
distributed generation options," said Tom Hulsebosch, managing director
of West Monroe Partners' Energy Utilities practice. "We have found
that many organizations are struggling to bring smart energy strategies
to life because they are not holistically analyzing the key technical,
business, and societal factors that impact their energy vision and
business case. Our Smart Energy Platform is designed to integrate energy
efficiency and distributed generation options through design,
conservation, demand management, and finally distributed generation,
including renewables. "

developers and planners looking to attract environmentally-conscious
residents and companies, businesses that have significant financial risk

municipalities that want to develop optimal energy policies that

growth. For additional information on West Monroe's smart energy service

"West Monroe Partners translated our smart energy community design
concepts into a roadmap for our 1500 acre master planned community,
Badger Mountain South. Their Smart Energy Platform enabled us to create
an integrated set of developer, municipal and customer choices that,
when implemented, will allow us to build an innovative community
infrastructure to promote energy efficiency and regulatory compliance,
reduce pollution, and save money for our residents and stakeholders,"
said Loren Combs, Project Manager, VSI Development, LLC.

leading solar markets. Over the next year, the West Monroe team will be
working across multiple City of Chicago departments to streamline the
zoning, permitting, and inspection processes for distributed solar
photovoltaic systems. As part of this project, the team will be working
with Chicago's electric distribution utility, Commonwealth Edison
(ComEd, to improve the interconnection process and provide policy
framework recommendations.
