Creating Pathways in the Clean Energy Economy

December 09, 2022

Dr. Holmes Hummel has made it their life’s work to create pathways for all to participate in the clean energy economy—on inclusive terms that are fiscally sustainable and financially scalable. Dr. Hummel founded Clean Energy Works to accelerate the adoption of essential clean energy upgrades through financial solutions, with the understanding that it is only through universal participation that we can achieve a clean energy economy. Working with Co-Director Tamara Jones, Dr. Hummel has built a team that supports rapidly expanding field work on the adoption of inclusive utility investment, promoting a practical model that makes clean energy solutions available to those who might not otherwise have access.

Prior to spearheading Clean Energy Works, Dr. Hummel served as senior policy advisor in the Department of Energy’s Office of Policy & International Affairs from 2009–2013, where they convened the first agency-wide working group on finance with a focus on expanding participation in the clean energy economy. Dr. Hummel holds a doctorate from Stanford University and serves as the managing director for Energy Equity & Just Transitions at the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford. In collaboration with Dr. Anthony Kinslow II, Dr. Hummel has founded new courses in energy equity, including a course called Quest for an Inclusive Clean Energy Economy.
