Global Broadband Customer Experience Leader listed No. 58 in Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® ranking reinforcing direct link between culture health, business performance

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Plume Design, Inc. (“Plume”), the global technology leader trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across 58 countries, today announced it has been named to the Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list by Most Loved Workplace® and the Best Practice Institute at No. 58, published today in The Economist. The recognition follows Plume’s Most Loved Workplace® Certification earned in April 2026 and elevates the company into an elite group of organizations worldwide whose employees demonstrate the deepest levels of emotional connection, shared values and positive sentiment toward where they work.

“We’ve made building a great culture and a rewarding work environment one of our top objectives from day one because you cannot deliver world-class experiences for 450 ISP customers if the people behind the products do not feel respected, heard and empowered,” said Dan Herscovici, President and CEO of Plume. “Being placed in the Top 100 list tells us the work is taking root. This is a milestone, not a finish line. We are committed to earning our team members’ and our customers’ trust every single day.”

Compiled using the proprietary Love of Workplace Index® (LOWI) framework, The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list is assessed across the five “SPARK” dimensions: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Future, Alignment of Values, Respect and Killer Outcomes.

When Dan Herscovici assumed the role of President and CEO in April 2025, culture was immediately identified as one of the company’s first strategic priorities. Over the past fourteen months, Plume has undertaken a company-wide culture initiative anchored in building trust, strengthening accountability and ensuring every team member feels they belong and have the tools to do their best work. The initiative was not a headquarters exercise as it spanned all of Plume’s global offices with the same level of investment and commitment at every location. The LOWI assessment captured positive sentiment across the entire worldwide team.

Throughout that same fourteen month timeline, Plume has expanded its ISP partnerships from approximately 400 to more than 450 across 58 countries; acquired Sweepr, a leading AI care orchestration platform; launched the industry’s first open Agentic AI platform for ISPs built on telemetry from over 500 million connected devices; committed to open standards by joining organizations such as the RDK Community, prpl Foundation and Connectivity Standards Alliance; and deepened partnerships by deploying advanced WiFi 7 technology with marquee ISPs including J:COM in Japan and FPT Telecom in Vietnam. For Plume’s leadership, the parallel trajectories of culture and business performance are inseparable, not coincidental.

“Our global transformation required a sustained, visible commitment from every level of leadership,” said Lorie Boyd, Chief People Officer at Plume. “Earning a place on the Top 100 list validates what we hear from our people every day. They feel the change. They see accountability in action, they trust the direction we are heading and they are proud of the work they do. At Plume, we treat culture as a business imperative in  the same way we treat product innovation or customer delivery. And we hold ourselves to that standard in Ljubljana and Hyderabad and Tokyo with the same rigor as our headquarters in Palo Alto.”

Employee-sourced insights were central to the SPARK assessment, which evaluated Plume across dimensions that include systemic collaboration, alignment of values and respect — areas that directly reflect the company’s emphasis on trust, inclusion and psychological safety.

“What sets the Global Most Loved Workplaces apart is not a score on a survey — it is the depth of emotional connection employees feel to their work, their colleagues and the future they are building together,” said Louis Carter, CEO and Founder of Best Practice Institute and Most Loved Workplace®. “Plume demonstrates exactly what the SPARK model reveals in the highest-performing organizations: a positive vision of the future that people believe in and leaders who create the conditions for people to love where they work.”

Global market projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2033 as governments, utilities, and enterprises accelerate investments in resilient and low-carbon energy systems.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global distributed energy generation market is entering a new phase of expansion as countries worldwide intensify efforts to modernize power infrastructure, strengthen grid resilience, and accelerate the transition toward cleaner energy systems. According to a recent industry analysis by Grand View Research, the global distributed energy generation market was valued at USD 538.2 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow from USD 572.1 billion in 2026 to USD 884.8 billion by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during the forecast period.

Distributed energy generation (DEG) refers to decentralized power production technologies located near the point of consumption, including solar photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, fuel cells, combined heat and power systems, microturbines, and other localized energy assets. These systems are transforming how electricity is generated, distributed, and consumed by reducing dependence on centralized power plants and improving energy reliability.

As energy security becomes a strategic priority for governments and businesses alike, distributed generation technologies are emerging as critical components of next-generation energy infrastructure. Rising electricity demand, increasing renewable energy deployment, and growing concerns regarding grid resilience are creating favorable conditions for sustained market growth.

Industry analysts note that the shift toward decentralized power systems is being reinforced by supportive government policies, advancements in energy storage technologies, and growing investments in smart grid infrastructure. Organizations across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors are increasingly adopting distributed generation solutions to reduce operating costs, improve sustainability performance, and ensure uninterrupted access to electricity.

Solar Photovoltaic Technology Maintains Market Leadership

Among all technology segments, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems continue to dominate the global distributed energy generation landscape. The solar PV segment accounted for 61.3% of total market revenue in 2025, making it the largest technology category within the industry.

Several factors are contributing to solar PV’s strong position, including declining module prices, expanding rooftop solar installations, favorable regulatory incentives, and increasing integration with battery storage systems. Solar photovoltaic technology is also projected to be the fastest-growing technology segment through 2033, with an anticipated CAGR of 8.3%.

The growing availability of high-efficiency panels, smart inverters, and digital energy management platforms is further enhancing the economic viability of distributed solar projects. Commercial facilities, manufacturing plants, educational institutions, healthcare centers, and residential consumers are increasingly investing in onsite solar generation to reduce electricity costs and achieve sustainability objectives.
