As a Senior Associate in Efficiency and Electrification, Alyson works with a diverse group of partners to reduce energy use and electrify homes, buildings, and transportation throughout Utah. Alyson leads the EmpowerCommunities program, through which Utah Clean Energy collaborates with individuals and community organizations to save energy and reduce pollution on a community-wide scale. Alyson also works with local governments, community organizations, policymakers, and businesses to advance energy efficiency in Utah’s built environment and accelerate the transition to driving electric.
Alyson is especially interested in an equitable energy transition and advocating for policies and practices that serve frontline communities. She has collaborated with utilities to increase awareness of incentive programs among diverse communities; she also supported the development and passage of several electric vehicle readiness ordinances across Utah that make EV charging accessible to residents living in multifamily housing.
Before joining the Utah Clean Energy team in 2023, Alyson worked in urban forest restoration, where she developed a passion for community-based solutions to environmental problems. Alyson graduated from the University of Washington with a BS in environmental science and resource management and a BA in law, societies, and justice. She is currently studying public administration at the University of Utah.
In her free time, Alyson enjoys reading, hiking, skiing, and spending time in the mountains with her dog.
We would like to clarify that Utah Clean Energy is not a solar company. We are a nonprofit organization that advocates for solar and other clean energy technologies, but we do not install or sell solar in any way.
