  • Carbon-Free Electricity

Genevieve is a manager with RMI’s Electricity Program, where she supports partners in developing cost-effective strategies to improve grid reliability, advance energy system planning, and accelerate the integration of clean energy technologies. She works closely with utilities, regulators, policymakers, corporates, investors and other energy sector stakeholders to evaluate business models, assess investment options, and identify policy and regulatory pathways that support power sector transformation.

Genevieve’s experience spans distributed energy resources, battery storage, demand flexibility, and grid planning, with a focus on using analytical research and market insights to support informed decision-making. She also designs and facilitates multi-stakeholder workshops that convene diverse groups — often with varying mandates and priorities—to build shared understanding, identify key challenges, and foster alignment around practical, actionable solutions for a cleaner, more reliable electricity system.
