Jeanne Currie joined CETI in May 2024 as a Research Analyst. Her portfolio includes the electricity grid, building decarbonization, and markets and transmission. She is involved in the Regional Engagement Committee for the Western Transmission Expansion Coalition (WestTEC) and has written for CETI about energy markets and the need for expanded transmission in the clean energy transition.

Jeanne provides research support for CETI’s SCALE 2030 project, which offers a blueprint for how Washington can get on the path to decarbonizing its building sector at the speed and scale that the state’s decarbonization targets require.

Prior to joining CETI, Jeanne was a graduate student planning intern and then policy analyst at Seattle City Light, researching and planning for new programs in energy efficiency, renewables, and affordability.

She received a Master of Public Administration from the University of Washington's Evans School in 2023, where she focused on energy systems and policy analysis. For her MPA, Jeanne completed a capstone project with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission that evaluated equity metrics used by investor-owned utilities to meet their legal obligations under the Clean Energy Transformation Act and Multi-Year Rate Plan Act.

Jeanne also holds a certificate in Nonprofit Management from the University of Washington and graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science degree. She has been an AmeriCorps volunteer and Fulbright grantee and first worked in clean energy at Spark Northwest.
