Project Finance Analyst

Closed construction debt, tax equity, backleverage term debt, and cash equity financing facilities for a community solar fund comprising 19 projects in MA, IL, and NY Conducted a monthly financial rollup and projection for Clearway's >200 MW community solar development pipeline Led modeling for the closing of an equipment loan, securing financing for >140 MW of safe-harbor modules and 11 safe-harbor transformers

Energy Solutions | Aug 2018 - Jul 2019

Project Manager

Led TRC Improvement team, which improved evaluation and prioritization of energy efficiency standards. Contributed to a nearly 2x increase in the evaluated cost-effectiveness of the CA energy efficiency standards portfolio. Used tools such as learning curves, webscraping, and hedonic price modeling to show that the cost of many CA and national efficiency standards had decreased since their initial adoption. Assessed lifecycle cost (LCC) of all (20+) appliance efficiency standards adopted in CA 2016-2019. Piloted a whole-building LCC analysis of the 2019 Title 24 building efficiency standards
