About the Team
Policy is a small, high-ownership function inside Legal, Regulatory, and Policy (LRP). We exist to shape the rules of the road by working with state legislatures, utility commissions, local governments, and other agencies to build a regulatory environment where distributed energy resources can be fully utilized to increase energy reliability and affordability for everyday Americans. Our work sits at the intersection of policy, politics, and grid infrastructure, and the outcomes we drive help set the bounds of Base's success.
