Gregory Young

Program Manager

Gregory has 10 years of experience in renewable energy and community-based organizations. At the Clean Coalition, he supports Solar Microgrid and Community Microgrid projects for municipalities and other entities with sophisticated technical and economic analyses. Universalizing local renewable energy resources has been an ongoing passion for Gregory, especially as more of the world’s population transitions to urban environments. Gregory has collaborated with several nonprofits and community-based organizations in developing planning processes to help build resilience and agency for disadvantaged populations. Gregory received his BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder and his MA in Urban Sustainability from Antioch University Los Angeles, focusing heavily on the world’s dual challenges of climate change and inequality. Along with his MA, Gregory received an Integrated GIS Certificate and created an ArcGIS model that improves the planning processes for locating optimal regions for Community Microgrid development. He hopes to improve upon this model and establish other planning procedures to decentralize and modernize the electric grid.
