Collaborate with internal teams (business-development, legal, operations, product, engineering) to align policy initiatives with business objectives and customer needs.
Draft policy proposals, briefs, comments, and testimony to influence decision-makers and position Base as a thought leader in the energy space.
Anticipate and navigate policy shifts, ensuring Base remains agile in a dynamic regulatory environment.

We exist to shape the rules of the road by working with state legislatures, utility commissions, local governments, and other agencies to build a regulatory environment where distributed energy resources can be fully utilized to increase energy reliability and affordability for everyday Americans. Our work sits at the intersection of policy, politics, and grid infrastructure, and the outcomes we drive help set the bounds of Base's success.
