Experience
Principal Associate
Jun 2024 — Present · Cambridge, MA, US
I provide expert witness and consulting services on behalf of public interest clients in regulatory proceedings. I specialize in electric utility cost of service, class revenue apportionment, advanced rate design, decoupling, and distributed generation interconnection, cost allocation, and compensation. My work focuses on ratepayer protection and pricing that incentivizes consumers to manage their electricity usage in line with the needs of the evolving power system.I have sponsored testimony in Massachusetts, Maine, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. I\'ve evaluated and recommended alternative methodologies in embedded and marginal cost of service studies in jurisdictions including Alaska, Utah, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Nevada. I\'ve also analyzed and proposed alternatives to utility revenue apportionment, the subjective step linking cost of service and rate design, in Indiana, Maryland, and Utah. I have developed alternative rate designs for residential, commercial and industrial, and electric vehicle customers, countered residential fixed charge increases, designed successor net metering tariffs, and proposed time of use periods in multiple jurisdictions.
