Kevin Steinberger is a Director in E3’s Integrated System Planning practice and works out of our New York City office. He helps utilities and state agencies plan for a low-carbon grid and analyzes how different policies and business models affect clean energy deployment, and has worked extensively with clients and stakeholders across the New York energy landscape. He also works with E3’s Climate Pathways and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) group, helping utilities and state agencies evaluate opportunities for customers to employ DERs and address challenges related to rate design. Mr. Steinberger’s recent E3 projects include analyzing the feasibility, timing, and costs associated with meeting New York’s electric sector targets to inform the Climate Act Draft Scoping Plan; managing an assessment of pathways for New York City government to meet the requirements of Local Law 97; and analyzing strategies for a Midwest utility to achieve its climate and clean energy goals.

Kevin is dedicated to facilitating a sustainable and equitable transformation of the energy system and finding ways to accelerate clean energy growth at the pace and scale needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. He was drawn to E3 by the chance to tackle the energy industry’s toughest challenges and develop tools that will drive the implementation of clean energy solutions.

Prior to joining E3, Kevin spent four years at the Natural Resources Defense Council, where he worked with states, power companies, and other stakeholders to analyze the impacts of potential federal climate policies. Kevin enjoys running, hiking, and scuba diving in his free time.
