Electricity Markets and Policy > Staff > Galen Barbose

Galen Barbose is a senior research associate in the Electricity Markets and Policy Group. His work focuses on policies to promote energy efficiency and demand response. Recent work has involved tracking and evaluation of demand response (DR) programs offered by Independent System Operators (ISOs) and utilities, development of measurement and verification guidelines for ISO-administered DR programs, and an analysis of the role of conservation and energy efficiency in the California energy crisis. Currently, Galen is engaged in a comprehensive study of utility experience with real time pricing programs, and a review and analysis of integrated resource planning activities among utilities in western states. In addition, Galen provides ongoing technical assistance to the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) in order to help federal customers identify energy efficiency and load management opportunities. Galen holds bachelor's degrees in mechanical engineering and philosophy from U.C. Berkeley and U.C. Santa Cruz, respectively, and is currently pursuing graduate studies in the Energy and Resources Group (ERG) at U.C. Berkeley.
