Dr. Riccardo Pagliarella
Co-founder, Greenergenic, Inc.
Dr Riccardo Pagliarella is a leading expert in DER integration in the Australian market. Riccardo has worked in many facets of DER integration: technology development, OT/IT transition, techno-financial simulation, VPP tariff product development and go-to-market, technology trials and in regulatory reform towards greater DER enablement. This is particularly important in the Australian market where renewable transition is strong, thermal baseload withdrawal is accelerating, no nuclear baseload exists and the Australian National Energy Market is the largest AC interconnected power system in the world – Australia is accordingly significantly advanced in market constructs and demand towards DER uptake. More recently Riccardo has been involved in technology and services efforts to integrate EVs into various national power systems and markets by way of participation in wholesale, DSO and primary frequency response opportunities. He currently leads EV technology as a Director at Deloitte Australia in addition to co-founding an EV DER business in South Korea. His prior work in electromobility and DER development includes being an alumni of Renault F1 Team, Tesla, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia, Telstra, Hydro Tasmania and Mando Corporation.
