I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Urban Affairs and Public Policy at the University of
Delaware, where I am affiliated with the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy
(CEEP). I am Norwegian and my doctoral dissertation investigates Norwegian energy policy
with a focus on residential energy efficiency policy and energy information measures.
Prior to joining the University of Delaware I received a Masters in Environmental Studies,
with a concentration in Environmental Policy, and a Bachelors in Marketing and Economics,
both from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.
While at CEEP, I have worked as policy analyst and research associate on two major energy
information projects: 1) The Energy Star Billing program, a pilot innovative billing
information project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)1 and 2) The
National Information Infrastructure Project. 2 Under a U.S. Department of Energy contract,
we co-operated with Dr. Charles Goldman at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in
California, to assess and evaluate consumer interest in communications-based energy
information services. On both projects I worked under Dr. Willett Kempton, Senior Research
Scientist at the CEEP.
Prior to working with Dr. Kempton, I was a research associate at the CEEP on contract with
the Delaware General Assembly – providing technical assistance on the formulation of viable
growth management policies for the State of Delaware, as well as with the Delaware Office of
Public Advocate, providing technical assistance on questions concerning public utility
deregulation and possible impacts on consumers, and preparing evidence presented in dockets
before the Delaware Public Services Commission.
In 1997 I received a doctoral fellowship from the Norwegian Research Council to investigate
energy information measures and electric utility billing information in Norway, in particular. I
joined Dr. Hal Wilhite’s billing feedback project group the same year. I participated in focus
group research and in numerous meetings during the development and experimental testing of
the project’s comparative graphic displays, in particular normative feedback and
disaggregation of end use. Furthermore, I also acted as liaison between the project groups in
Norway and the US. Though there are differences both in approach and results, both projects
have benefited from an exchange of information and experiences.
A complete list of references providing detail about both projects, the evaluations and
background can be found at the end of this document. I have also included a list of my most
relevant publications from the projects mentioned above in Appendix G.
