Nicole Chan supports E3’s Climate Pathways and Electrification practice area. Prior to joining E3, she worked in many aspects of the clean energy transition, including clean energy policy, utility regulatory applications, greenhouse gas accounting and inventories, environmental assessments, and carbon pricing. Nicole has a broad background in the energy sector, having worked for local governments, a district heating utility, research institutions, engineering consulting firms, and oil and gas producers. Nicole has earned a M.Sc in mechanical engineering from the University of Alberta, and a B.Sc in chemical engineering from the University of Calgary.  

Nicole has always been fascinated by the fundamental role of energy and how it powers our modern world today. Given the pressing issue of climate change and the need to urgently transition towards clean, renewable forms of energy, Nicole is excited to work with E3 on developing solutions to support government, private, and non-profit actors in tackling the complex problem of the clean energy transition.  

Outside of work, Nicole can be found chasing down frisbees in the park, singing soprano in Broadway songs on stage, or playing board games with her friends and family. She is also an avid reader, with her favorite genres being science fiction, political and social sciences, and fantasy.
