At ARG, we understand the significance of community support, especially during challenging times. Last month, we proudly collaborated with Phoenixville Area Community Services (PACS) for their Holiday Goods Drive, a longstanding initiative dedicated to aiding individuals facing difficulties. PACS, with its admirable commitment since 1972, exemplifies community support by offering emergency assistance through food distribution and Information & Referral services, fostering a community where everyone cares for each other.

Our team, together with Allied Resources Technical Consultants, actively participated in this drive, contributing non-perishable food items, baby essentials, cleaning products, and toiletries. The experience of dropping off these donations was profoundly heartwarming. We were honored to tour PACS’s facilities, witnessing firsthand their state-of-the-art freezer system and a walk-in “grocery store” that serves as a beacon of hope for those in need. As we reflect on our involvement, we’re deeply grateful to be a small part of PACS’s impactful mission, spreading joy and warmth in our community during this holiday season.

At Allied Resources Group, community involvement is at the heart of our values, and we are proud to contribute to meaningful initiatives like the 2023 Warmth for All Drive organized by Orion Communities. Orion Communities, a local nonprofit based in Phoenixville, PA, is dedicated to providing hope for individuals and families facing hardships due to poverty, disability, or illness, fostering self-reliance along the way. This special drive, aligned with National Hunger & Homelessness Week, focused on collecting new and gently used coats, blankets, gloves, and new socks. These essential items were distributed to those in our community who are most vulnerable, offering not just physical warmth but also a sense of dignity during the winter months.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at ARG who generously contributed to this impactful cause, and we’re excited about the positive impact these donations will have on the lives of those in need in our community. Together, we’re making a difference and spreading warmth and hope where it’s needed most.

In a significant move towards revolutionizing the renewable energy landscape, U.S. regulators have given their nod to proposals expediting the connection of new power projects to the electric grid. This reform addresses the mounting backlog of requests from wind and solar energy developers, totaling over 2,000 gigawatts, almost double the existing U.S. generation capacity. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Acting Chairman Willie Phillips emphasized that this rule marks a monumental step towards transmission reform.

Among the pivotal changes, the interconnection process will shift from a “first come, first served” to a “first ready” approach. This means projects armed with essential elements like land rights and permits will receive priority. Additionally, stringent financial and other conditions will be imposed to secure a spot in the interconnect queue. Grid operators failing to complete interconnection studies on time may face penalties of up to $2,500 per day. To expedite the process, FERC will also allow projects to be studied in clusters rather than one by one.

At ARG, we recognize this reform’s potential to reshape the renewable energy sector. Our subsidiaries, such as RTR, play a vital role in this endeavor. RTR works closely with the energy delivery industry, offering top-tier environmental inspection, constructability analysis, and project management services. With a team of seasoned professionals, we’re dedicated to finding intelligent ways to integrate renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the U.S. power grid.

The current complex process that new power generators and battery storage resources must navigate before connection involves multiple studies, taking an average of five years. This reform is poised to streamline this process, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable energy future. At ARG, our engineering consulting firms stand strong with the power utilities market. We’re committed to being at the forefront of this transformative journey towards a cleaner, more efficient power grid.

As part of our new blog series, we’re doing an Employee Spotlight at ARG! Most of our success and growth has been mainly due to our people. So, we’re excited to feature our hardworking team members. Meet ARMS Manager of Credentialing, Regan Hoerl!

Which ARG company do you work for and when did you start?
I joined ARMstaffing in 2019.

What excites you most about work every day?
My amazing onboarding team, the difference we make in the world, and the culture and environment of the office.

What inspired you to pursue the career you have today?
I always wanted to be a teacher. Something about leading a classroom and educating students was always so fascinating to me. I had so many memorable and impactful teachers in my life and knew that was my passion. I finished my degree in English Composition from ESU and landed a job in a translation company, copyediting and proofreading documents. I knew the company wasn’t for me, but I found an interest in staffing and HR. Needless to say, I ended up applying for ARMS right after having my first child in 2019 and have been happy ever since.

What do you think are the most essential skills that you bring to your job?
A positive, can-do attitude, teamwork, time management, and relationship engagement with external and internal clients.

What is the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you?
A new mistake shows progress. An old re-occurring mistake shows stupidity.

What’s the best thing that has happened to you in the last twelve months?
The birth of my son (Sawyer).
