With leadership in the government changing, the electric utility industry is anticipating major shifts in policy. But sustainability will continue to be a focus of the evolving electric and energy sector according to a strategic advisor for large commercial and industrial organizations looking to manage their sustainability and energy issues.

In this episode of Grid Talk, we interview Drew Murphy CEO of Trio about what’s ahead for the energy industry.

“There will be reversals, there will be setbacks; there will be things where we’ve moved down one path and then that stops so you have to move down another,” said Murphy.

Trio was launched 9 years ago by Edison International, one of the nation’s largest utilities, to help its customers navigate the energy transition, which he believes will continue regardless of the administration change.

“Sustainability and energy will continue to go hand-in-hand and we’re going to see this move forward.”

Murphy says the renewable and clean energy business is constantly evolving and changing.

“I think that the technological advancement that we’ve seen over the last 20 years in terms of clean energy technology advancement, how the costs have come down; how much we’ve deployed both in the U.S., and globally, I think technology is driving forward and that is something that I think will continue.”

AS chief executive officer of Trio, Murphy is responsible for guiding the organization and empowering the team to help clients manage their energy choices and risks to deliver on their strategic, financial and sustainability goals.

Previously Murphy was senior vice president of Strategy, Corporate Development and Sustainability for Trio’s parent company, Edison International, where he was responsible for managing the strategic planning process for the company and its subsidiaries and overseeing the analysis of emerging trends in the industry and their impact on Edison International’s regulated utility and competitive businesses.

Murphy earned a bachelor’s degree from Harvard College in 1983 and a Juris Doctor from George Washington University in 1987.
