Abstract
This presentation describes my applied research experience with the Illinois Power Agency (IPA) in our vision to enhance the state’s clean energy portfolio by equitable and cost-effective means. Over the Spring 2024 semester, I produced reports on program expansions and aided administrative operations of the Planning and Procurement Bureau, particularly providing research support on energy storage distribution grid impacts for the 2024 IPA Policy Study and researching alignment between federal and state definitions of environmental justice communities. Throughout this experience, I gained insight into state policy frameworks and stakeholder collaboration to advance a clean energy transition.
