Frank is currently the Program Manager for Policy Development at NYSERDA, and is responsible for managing oversight of a strategic planning team that seeks to qualify and initiate policy interventions to promote clean energy market development in New York State. This includes analysis of energy issues like climate change, energy infrastructure, and economic development in the content of statewide policy.rnrnAs the leader of the Policy Development team, Frank provides operational oversight and steering for a suite of projects covering clean energy jobs census for the State, GHG inventory and forecasting, carbon and air pollution markets (e.g., RGGI and CSAPR), energy efficiency technologies and investment mechanisms, off-shore wind, as well as regulatory proceedings intended to rethink electric utility business models for the "utility of the future". Together, these topics (and many more) are all contributing to New York Stat's ambitious goals for 2030 to reduce GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels, increase renewables to have them contribute 50% of electric generation, and decrease energy consumption in buildings by 600 trillion BTUs.
