Therese Miranda-Blackney Email & Phone Number

I founded Grid Future Strategies to support the clean energy transition by working with organizations to define their product offerings, refine market positioning, build go-to-market strategies, and unlock revenue growth. I also advise on corporate energy procurement strategies, including 24/7 time-matching and managing scope 3 emissions. With over 15 years of experience in the clean energy industry spanning utilities, government and startups, I support companies as they navigate growth and make key business decisions before scaling. My expertise spans utility needs, distributed energy resources, regulatory landscapes, and customer segmentation, ensuring businesses have the insights and structure they need to thrive in the clean energy space. I especially enjoy working with early stage founders and facilitating team workshops.
