Rural energy demands are changing quickly. We’re already on it.
We understand the daily challenges rural electric distribution cooperatives, generation and transmission cooperatives and regional transmission organizations (RTOs) face: strengthening grid infrastructure, integrating resources, communicating member value, navigating policy changes, and responding to crises with clarity and speed. We bring smart strategy, deep sector knowledge, and strong industry connections to help you solve what matters most and keep rural America up and running.

A Clear Plan for the Future
NIPCO, a generation and transmission cooperative supplying power to seven distribution co-ops and more than 30,000 members, needed a clear plan to navigate industry changes. Paulsen helped bring leadership together to identify key challenges, prioritize opportunities, and develop a roadmap for the future.
Case StudyBuilding a Unified Voice for G&T Cooperatives
To strengthen the voice of rural electric generation and transmission (G&T) cooperatives, Paulsen partnered with the National Generation & Transmission coalition to develop the NG&T Communications Guide. This essential messaging platform provides a consistent framework to communicate the unique value of the G&T cooperative model.
Case StudyEV Webinar
Reliability and affordability are the two tenets of the rural electric cooperative brand. But, with the growing adoption of electric vehicles and infrastructure, that brand is at risk.
As
national pressure mounts for EV adoption, Paulsen’s Rural97 initiative
team asked rural consumers across the country how they view their
electricity provider. We
found rural Americans worry that disruption from the EV market will
make their electricity less reliable and less affordable.
