Material created by internship will be used to target and provide thought leadership for the value of active energy management, distributed microgrids, and renewable energy in the California Municipal market (others my apply) to deliver cost assurance, clean/renewable energy, and resilient energy to vertical market partners.

This material created should:

• Help translate state legislature and policy into actionable energy project suggestions & aid in the understanding of new energy policy leading to faster adoption or electric vehicles and renewable energy solutions
• Emphasize the value of resiliency & sustainability – conveying the practicality of microgrids with the integration of electric vehicles into places of work, home, ports and municipalities as primary destination charging

For operations reporting & success tracking:

Internship recipient will act as the HISTORIAN for the work completed during the internship timeline. All work to be documented in a weekly operations report to show meetings held, meetings joined, objectives and progress updates on action items with recommended next steps, notation of items completed, and action items recommended for discovery or initiation.

• May be asked to research electric vehicle (EV) related bills or participating in state-level activities sponsored by Government Relations calls for coverage and insight on grant strategies for the greater organization.

It is expected that the internship will be entirely remote.
