BOWIE, Md. – OASIS Energy Partners was featured in Bloomberg’s July 1, 2025, investigative report on the state of grid infrastructure across the U.S. and Europe. The article highlights the growing need for modernization as electric grids confront rising demands, aging infrastructure, and increasingly severe weather events.
 

In the piece, Founder & CEO Brooke Smallwood addresses the persistent challenges within the utility industry, noting:

 

“The way they are siloed, the way they manage data and information is antiquated,” Smallwood said. “I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface of what grid disruption looks like; I think we’ve seen glimpses.”

​

The sentiment reflects a broader truth: utilities are inherently complex institutions where reliability is the top priority, but many still operate within traditional frameworks that are siloed, bureaucratic, and reactive. These models, while effective in a past era, are increasingly mismatched with the needs of today’s dynamic, decentralized, and electrified grid.
