Dr. Lily Hanig specializes in resource adequacy and capacity expansion. Before joining E3, Lily was a senior energy analyst at a leading energy analytics firm, where she led resource adequacy, integrated resource planning, and battery and solar valuation work for utility and corporate clients across the US. She also conducted research at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, contributing to federal electric vehicle charging infrastructure assessment under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Lily’s doctoral dissertation at Carnegie Mellon University examined how transportation and energy systems can be planned to produce equitable outcomes during periods of disruption and transition, with research spanning the grid capacity consequences of federal EV policy targets and the equity implications of charging infrastructure gaps across the US. Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and she has presented her findings at multiple national conferences.

Lily enjoys complex analytical problems and optimization. She finds the energy field rewarding because of its constantly evolving challenges and tangible impacts on people and the planet.

Outside of work, Lily can usually be found skiing, cycling, or trail running. She also enjoys knitting and ceramics.
