BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- E Source, a utilities-focused consulting, research, and data science company, has announced the appointment of Jeremy Klingel as President, Solution Services. Klingel arrives at E Source with over 20 years of experience in the energy and utility industry, building and scaling consulting, engineering, and technology-led practices.

Jeremy previously served as a Senior Partner with West Monroe's Energy & Utility practice and founded the firm's Clean Energy & Infrastructure Investment Advisory offering. Before West Monroe, he was Head of U.S. Energy and Utility Advisory at PA Consulting and in multiple executive positions at Black & Veatch, leading global business lines in management consulting, engineering, and construction.

E Source also supports municipal clients of all sizes, with experience advising public utilities in cities like Los Angeles, San Antonio, and New York. In his new role, Klingel will focus on growing the unit and adding new capabilities that deliver tangible results across E Source's client base in the utility industry.

"E Source's combination of in-depth domain knowledge and data-enabled solutions allows us to help clients address some of the industry's most compelling and unstructured problems," said Klingel.
