Previously, Colin managed the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Program, overseeing more than $10.5 billion in funding for grid infrastructure to support resilient, affordable, and climate-aligned energy systems. Earlier in his career, Colin worked with clean energy developers, trade associations, and environmental organizations to drive policy, regulatory, and market solutions that advance clean energy adoption and lower costs for energy customers across the country.

He is a frequent speaker on grid policy, clean energy strategy, and infrastructure development.
