Edward Cuoco has joined energy advisory firm DNV GL as its new vice president over its market and policy development (MPD) group.

The former director of data science and advanced analytics at IBM’s The Weather Company brings expertise in data science, change and risk management, as well as energy wholesale and retail markets experience to his new role. Before joining The Weather Company, he was director of data science at Enernoc, an energy management SaaS provider.

Edward Cuoco has joined energy advisory firm DNV GL as its new vice president over its market and policy development (MPD) group. “We see utilities, energy marketers, system operators and other energy stakeholders looking for trusted advisory services to guide their decisions,” said Carole Barbeau, President of DNV GL’s Energy Advisory, Americas. “Cuoco brings this powerful combination of analytical skills and leadership to meet those needs.”

Cuoco, who will be based in Burlington, Mass., will focus on expanding the MPD group’s services to meet the growing needs of the Americas markets. He will form the strategic vision for the group and oversee the delivery of consulting services to ISOs/RTOs, utilities and independent power providers (IPPs), wholesale and retail energy professionals and other stakeholders.

“Markets across the U.S. are poised to benefit from applied analytics like market simulation and analysis and other tools,” Cuoco said. “I hope to expand the positive impact that DNV GL can have as the strategic advisor to stakeholders across the energy value chain looking to manage assets, plan systems, navigate changing markets, and attain long-term compliance, sustainability and business success.”
