She was on the executive team for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded “Minneapolis-Saint Paul Solar America Cities” initiative. Stacy was project manager of the development and adoption of solar ready building guidelines and construction specifications tailored to the Twin Cities region and Minnesota. She served as project manager for the SunShot/DOE-funded “Minnesota Rooftop Solar Challenge” that supported 22 organizations working to spur solar power deployment by cutting red tape and improving finance options, and that partnered statewide to develop a final report that formed the basis of the 2013 Solar Jobs Act. In addition, she is currently project manager for another competitive grant award received by the state from DOE. It funds the “Minnesota Solar Pathways: Illuminating Pathways to 10% Solar,” a collaboration to find least-risk, best-value strategies for Minnesota to achieve its solar energy goals. ................
