Hudson Gilmer has more than a decade of experience developing innovative data and analytics services for the energy industry. He was instrumental in creating Advanced Transmission Technologies (WATT) Coalition, the only organization working exclusively on resolving economic and policy obstacles to the use of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) on the U.S. transmission grid. Its mission is to unlock renewable energy queues, reduce transmission congestion, and make the best use of existing grid infrastructure. The organization educates policymakers and stakeholders on the value of GETs and the barriers to deployment. GETs are hardware and software that increase the capacity, efficiency and/or safety of the transmission system. These technologies are installed on existing transmission infrastructure to give operators more situational awareness and control over the grid.

Hudson is also CEO of Linevision, where he oversees a team of passionate energy and technology professionals dedicated to the company’s mission of harnessing advanced sensors and analytics to improve the efficiency and resilience of power grids around the world. Prior to his work with LineVision, Hudson served in roles as Vice President, Commercial Markets at Genscape, and led commercial teams at EnvaPower and EnerNOC. Hudson has an MBA from MIT’s Sloan School of Business. Hudson lives in Winchester, Mass. where he can be found crashing through local trails on foot, bike, or skis.
