Focus on Energy Performance Manager

Apr 2013 - Jun 2019
My primary role is to provide oversight and management of the Focus on Energy evaluation contract. I work collaboratively with our contractor to budget and plan evaluation activities, review results for accuracy and value, and develop reports and presentations. I also work with Commission and program staff to manage evaluation-related data in the program database, review and verify the accuracy of program savings estimates, and ensure evaluation activities provide maximum value for informing program decision-making.I also work with individual utilities to oversee and support utility energy efficiency and outreach programs. I make sure this process involves a collaborative focus on effectively defining and tracking program performance, to ensure those programs make cost-effective use of ratepayer funds. Show less
