One of SEA’s specialties is serving as consultant supporting multi-stakeholder initiatives assessing development and implementation of complex renewable energy policy initiatives. SEA has experience designing and implementing stakeholder engagement, facilitating and supporting with research and analysis energy, for task forces, advisory groups and similar stakeholder processed on complex and critical clean energy matters.
Having worked with and for a wide range of stakeholder, SEA’s principals have gained the perspective to understand and anticipate the perspectives of stakeholders with markedly differing interests, have earned the trust of stakeholders to reflect their positions and priorities credibly, and have effectively aided such groups in collectively identifying feasible solution spaces.
Since its founding, SEA has supported state-convened stakeholder groups, Technical Sessions and Task Forces. Based on SEA’s experience helping working groups of stakeholders navigate viable outcomes in the presence of competing objectives, SEA’s Bob Grace was lead author on a guidance for policymakers on the topic published by the National Regulatory Research Institute entitled When Renewable Energy Policy Objectives Conflict: A Guide for Policymakers (2011).
