Background
Previously at RMI, Stephen led the development of the City Renewables Accelerator suite of tools and guides, available at cityrenewables.org, and served as a core team member and leader of the Business Renewables Center, supporting the program’s growth to the point where it could be successfully spun out to form the Corporate Energy Buyer’s Association.
