Don’t miss this opportunity to explore CEERUM, a participatory energy-planning platform built for public power utilities and the communities they serve. CEERUM helps utilities bring data, stakeholders, and strategy into one place—making it easier to build awareness, educate decision-makers, uncover opportunities, leverage external resources, and build consensus around a shared path forward.

As public power leaders navigate rapid industry change, strategic planning has never been more essential. CEERUM uses local data to inform the planning process, strengthen alignment, and accelerate execution. It serves as a strategic communication tool that helps utilities communicate tradeoffs, compare scenarios, and engage boards, town officials, and community members in meaningful ways.

Public power utilities face growing expectations to deliver on energy efficiency, customer satisfaction, and community resilience — often with limited internal resources. Trees can play a powerful role in meeting these objectives when strategically integrated into utility initiatives.

In this podcast, we’ll explore how community tree distribution programs are being implemented by utilities across the country to:

Support right-tree-right-place energy savings

Strengthen customer relationships through visible, positive engagement

Advance water conservation and urban forestry goals

Provide clear metrics and reporting to demonstrate impact

You’ll hear how a turnkey approach can reduce the burden on staff while still delivering meaningful outcomes for utilities, customers, and communities alike.

Public power organizations face distinct cybersecurity challenges, including limited budgets, regulatory pressures, legacy assets, and increasing threats.
