Juliet Homer
Biography
Juliet Homer is team leader of the Energy Policy Analytics team within the Energy Policy and Economics group at PNNL. She’s a professional engineer with expertise in the changing electric power grid and associated changes to planning, policy, and regulation. She also has a background and experience in municipal water and wastewater systems and leads an integrated-water-power resilience project at PNNL for DOE’s Water Power Technologies Office. Juliet's work at PNNL centers on the energy-water nexus and electric integrated distribution system planning with distributed energy resources. Juliet regularly works with state public utility commissions and state energy offices around the United States on issues of forecasting, characterizing, valuing, and planning for distributed energy resources. Juliet enjoys bringing people together and leading conversations and workshops that lead to collaborations and creative solutions to complex challenges.
Before joining PNNL, Juliet worked as a utility analyst with the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) where she managed the review of electricity and natural gas utility resource planning dockets. She also performed economic analyses of utility-proposed energy efficiency, renewable energy, and grid modernization investments and oversaw Energy Trust of Oregon programs for the Oregon PUC. Juliet previously worked at Greeley and Hansen, LLC, a multi-national engineering consulting firm where she was a project engineer on water and wastewater planning and design projects in Arizona. Juliet holds a Master's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Arizona State University.
