Dhroovaa is a senior associate with RMI’s Carbon-Free Electricity Program, where he works on the Global Electricity Transition Initiative. Historically, his work focused on identifying pathways to help emerging markets and developing economies shift from fossil fuel based to renewable power generation. Currently, his work focuses on modernizing electricity grids for a clean energy future.
Background
Before joining RMI, Dhroovaa was a senior consultant in Guidehouse’s energy, sustainability, and infrastructure practice, where he quantified physical climate risk to utilities and developed investment plans to harden utility assets against climate hazards.
As a master’s student, Dhroovaa focused on low-carbon electric power and energy policy — leading graduate research projects on low-carbon energy potential in Rwanda and viability of bus fleet electrification in Allegheny County. As an undergraduate, he researched the greenhouse gas impact of Pittsburgh’s urban food system and interned with Pacific Gas & Electric’s asset management team.
In his spare time, you can catch Dhroovaa training for the long jump or listening to podcasts about the Phoenix Suns.
