This intensive camp will explore how energy policy is created, implemented, and regulated in the United States. Participants will gain an understanding of the differences between legislative action—the process of passing or amending laws—and administrative action, which translates those laws into practical rules, regulations, and programs. Attendees will hear about what it takes to influence and shape policy, as well as how public opinion, regulation, and innovation intersect in today’s dynamic energy landscape.

The camp will be led by John Costlow, a recognized leader in sustainable energy and carbon management. Costlow is dedicated to creating a future where energy is abundant, affordable, and responsibly managed for generations to come. With decades of experience in both the technical and financial aspects of energy efficiency and renewable energy, he is a frequent speaker and expert witness on topics including time-of-use rates, net metering, long-term SREC procurement, and energy conservation planning as well as the President and CEO of the Sustainable Energy Fund (SEF).

Costlow holds multiple professional certifications from the Association of Energy Engineers, including:

  • Certified Sustainable Development Professional (CSDP)
  • Certified Performance Contracting and Funding Professional
  • Renewable Energy Professional
  • Carbon Accounting Professional
