At E3, Yutong analyzes electricity markets and the factors that shape the value of renewable energy and energy storage projects. Her work helps developers, investors, and planners understand how market conditions, transmission constraints, and long-term system trends affect the value and performance of clean energy assets. She has experience analyzing electricity price patterns, transmission congestion, and resource expansion trends to support investment decisions and market assessments for utility-scale renewable energy developments. She has also developed and applied large-scale power system models to evaluate project risks, including curtailment and evolving market conditions.

Yutong is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to climate change mitigation through rigorous energy analysis. She is especially interested in how policy, market structures, and broader societal forces are translated into modeling assumptions—and what those assumptions reveal about possible decarbonized futures. She is driven by the challenge of helping build a cleaner electricity system while tackling the complex quantitative questions at the heart of decarbonization.

Outside of work, Yutong enjoys hiking and winter sports. When not outdoors, she likes reading fiction and playing retro video games.
