Experience

  1. Director, Wholesale Market Development

    Mainspring Energy

    Aug 2023 — Present · Philadelphia, PA, US

    Mainspring Energy is a manufacturer of local, scalable, dispatchable, fuel flexible power generation equipment, based in Menlo Park, CA. As Director of Wholesale Market Development I lead our team to conduct technical evaluations, evaluate market intelligence and educate external stakeholders to break down barriers to access Mainspring\'s technology. Often my work entails evaluating market access, interconnection and valuation for traditional and clean utility scale generation, transmission, non-wire solutions, green fuels, distributed energy resources, energy storage, demand response and other technologies/applications. My evaluations leverage knowledge of RTOs, FERC, NERC, State and local policy. I often conduct 1:1 and small group interviews and discussions to learn from policy makers, industry executives and large energy customers. Finally, I prepare written reports, slides, and spreadsheet analysis and influence organizational decision-making via regular virtual and in-person presentations to senior management.
