Brenda Enos
Vice President, Energy Transition Solutions
Driving Decarbonization through Transportation Electrification
Brenda Enos is VP, Energy Transition Solutions at TRC. She specializes in helping large energy users including airports, ports and transit agencies in their electrification and energy transformation strategy, planning and technology deployment, helping to transform these industries from a fossil-fuel based model to a resilient and net zero carbon future.
Brenda has extensive experience in managing a diverse technical portfolio of sustainability and resiliency efforts for transportation clients throughout the country. During her career, she has been a thought leader and technical expert on energy transformation including greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction initiatives, net zero planning, fleet and transportation electrification, EV charging technology roadmaps and deployment and adoption of alternative fuels like low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel and hydrogen.
“Transportation Electrification refers to the transition from fossil fuel vehicles to those powered by electricity. This broader transition is not just about the vehicles themselves, but it's also the charging supply equipment, the supportive infrastructure, and the people doing the work. Collaboration will be key to making this succeed on a broad scale.”
