Description

Intervene in regulatory proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Energy Commission and other public agencies to develop solar-friendly policies.
Prepare expert testimony, frame discovery for utility and other witnesses, and advocate for Vote Solar’s positions in cross-examination—all in pursuit of regulatory outcomes that provide fair compensation for solar and technologies that help grow solar markets.
Pursue innovative regulatory policies that address historical racial, economic and structural inequities and remove barriers to solar adoption by residential and business customers. This includes policies that encourage utilities, system operators and regulators to incorporate solar (distributed and wholesale) into their planning and operations.
Advise on state-level legislation that can open up new opportunities for solar and storage markets in California.
Provide thought leadership in designing new regulatory paradigms that prioritize renewables, climate justice and maximizing participation in (and benefit from) distributed energy resources.
Build and collaborate with coalitions of stakeholders – including, for example, frontline communities, environmental justice advocates, consumer advocates, energy efficiency proponents, energy storage providers, electric vehicle advocates, etc. – to develop and pursue win-win strategies.
Continue personal learning and contributions to organizational work on diversity, equity and inclusion.
Be committed to embedding equity in all organizational internal practices and culture.
Bring openness and engagement to personal, professional, and organization-wide learning on race, class, gender, justice, and equity.
