Energy

ERG supports government agencies, businesses, consumers, and other stakeholders in meeting their near- and long-term clean energy objectives. Our energy engineers, analysts, and marketing professionals work with clients to develop, manage, and promote sustainable and cost-effective energy choices. For example, we help facility managers with energy master planning, feasibility studies, project development, cost/benefit analyses, and measurement and verification. To support sustainability at the organizational level, we deliver green power procurement strategies, assess opportunities for onsite clean generation and energy efficiency, and track energy use and associated emissions. For clean energy market transformation efforts at the national level, we develop and implement stakeholder engagement strategies, support clean energy program deployment, develop tools for project and market development, and benchmark and analyze program results. ERG also evaluates the environmental impacts of conventional, renewable, and emerging energy sources—from resource extraction through processing, transportation, generation, transmission, distribution, and end use.

Companies and institutions are increasingly switching to renewable electricity, and they are doing it in new and creative ways—from community solar gardens to virtual power purchase agreements. At ERG, I’ve had the privilege to work with leaders at the forefront of the ‘green power’ market—helping them explore and formulate their renewable procurement strategies and share their stories and best practices.

In my experience, effective climate action requires invested leadership, multidisciplinary expertise to address all sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and equitable stakeholder engagement to guide and successfully implement new policies and strategies. I have had the pleasure of managing several climate action plan projects, guiding both municipalities and universities through the process of developing and implementing their unique plans, and I’m proud of the positive benefits those plans have brought to stem the effects of climate change.

I come from a family devoted to public service, so there’s nowhere I would rather be than on the leading edge of sustainability, helping decision-makers at all levels understand the best available options for reducing their environmental footprint and protecting people and places from the ever-increasing impacts of climate change.

In the coming decades, the world must decarbonize its energy use to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, while simultaneously investing in measures to make the energy system more resilient to a changing climate. This transition presents many challenges, and how we meet these challenges will greatly impact our world’s economic, environmental, political, and social state. I’m proud to work with ERG’s clients to help facilitate this transition so that we can all live in a safer, more prosperous, and healthy world.

Both companies and the public sector have to assess environmental tradeoffs in the face of limited resources. LCA is a great tool for assessing those tradeoffs and making choices consistent with values. By generating high-quality public data and LCA tools, we provide the underlying data necessary for effective decision-making.
