Reinvestment Fund is a community development financial institution ("CDFI") that does community development work in low income communities. I led the Clean Energy initiatives, which to date has deployed $175 million for clean energy projects and work.Reinvestment Fund received $20.5 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding for building energy lending across Pennsylvania and I had a leading role in developing our two building energy loan funds - EnergyWorks and the Pennsylvania Green Energy Loan Fund "GELF"). Additional energy funding was received from the Bank of America and the City of Baltimore. I am responsible for the energy analysis and technical review of applications for all of Reinvestment Fund’s energy loans.I also managed the Sustainable Development Fund ("SDF"), a $32 million fund created by the settlement agreement in the PECO Energy restructuring proceeding to provide financial support for renewable energy and energy conservation projects and businesses. I was instrumental in forming and organizing SDF, including its bylaws, board of directors and other procedures. SDF has supported the development of seven wind farms, 220 solar photovoltaic installations and number educational programs about clean energy in Pennsylvania.I also performed legal duties for Reinvestment Fund, representing the organization in the Act 129 implementation proceedings (utility conservation programs) and earlier regulatory proceedings. I have represented Reinvestment Fund and SDF in testimony before the Pennsylvania General Assembly on energy legislation and policy.I continue to do clean energy project work for Reinvestment Fund on a consulting basis since my retirement.

I worked part-time as project manager of the Clean Energy States Alliance (formerly the Clean Energy Funds Network), a project that provides information and coordination services to (and is funded by annual dues from) the 14 states that have created clean energy funds. CESA also developed research projects and other joint initiatives of the member funds. I managed the public education project which developed new branding for clean energy and produced a series of television and radio spots. I also handled the community wind project and the solar activities.

I worked with several other attorneys to represent a coalition of environmental and consumer groups in a variety of electric utility restructuring proceedings before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. The cases included a number of the early generic policy and rulemaking proceedings as well as five major utility restructuring cases (PECO Energy, PP&L, GPU, Duquesne Light and West Penn). I was the lead attorney in the PECO Energy, Duquesne and West Penn cases and supported counsel in the PP&L and GPU cases. We secured a number of important environmental provisions in these cases, including a system benefits charge for renewable energy and energy conservation (i.e. SDF and four other regional energy funds), new net metering and interconnection rules, a renewable portfolio standard, increased budgets for low income energy conservation and a low income pilot program to install photovoltaic and solar water heating systems

As Chief Counsel, I was responsible for representing the agency in administrative proceedings before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. I also represented the office in trial and appellate court work before the Board of Claims, Commonwealth Court and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. I provided legal counsel to the agency's directors and review and signed all agency contracts. I served as counsel to the Variance Board established by the Building Energy Conservation Act. I was also responsible for the agency's energy policy work and served as manager of the Energy and Power Task Force and project leader for An Energy Policy for Pennsylvania, the 1988 state energy policy. I represented Pennsylvania in the National Governor's Association's policy efforts regarding a national energy policy and global climate change.
