TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC), a global professional services firm providing integrated strategy, consulting, engineering and applied technologies in support of the energy transition, announced the addition of several key hires in its EMEA operations. These new appointments advance the company’s expansion strategy — strengthening its capabilities and allowing for enhanced service offerings, deeper client engagements and continued growth across EMEA.
The EU is rapidly transitioning toward decarbonized energy systems driven by ambitious climate goals, including becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Additionally, the U.K. is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, and Ireland has set forth its goal of 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030. “The intermittency and variability of renewables will continue to be challenging, making the need for grid modernization critical to ensure stability and balance supply and demand,” said Miki Deric, TRC’s Senior Vice President and Managing Director for EMEA.
“In this environment, utilities will prioritize digital infrastructure — including advanced control systems, IT/OT integration, predictive analytics and AI-driven automation — in order to improve grid flexibility and resiliency, optimize existing resources and manage increasing renewable energy storage,” added Deric.
In addition to expanding its footprint in EMEA, TRC is further strengthening its expertise in each of these critical areas with the addition of the newly announced team members:
Morris Lyness joins TRC as Principal, Energy Transition for EMEA. He is responsible for implementing and integrating various grid technology solutions in Operational Technologies, Advanced Metering, DERMS, GIS and ISO/RTO market solutions.

Neil Wallshas been named TRC Vice President, Technology Delivery for EMEA. Walls will support TRC’s expansion in EMEA, focusing on technology solutions and expert delivery.
