Shannon Angielski provides clients with federal public policy advice on a wide range of energy and environmental issues, including electric power generation, global climate change, air quality, energy efficiency, and appropriations initiatives associated with these matters. In particular, she focuses on helping to design federal regulatory policy to encourage the development and utilization of clean energy technologies in the utility industry.

Ms. Angielski works with Congress, the Administration, and industry to develop innovative programs designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions from fossil fueled power generation.  She has developed and supported coalition initiatives and designed legislative proposals that have led to the development of tax incentives, research and development programs, and authorizations for the development of federal programs. Additionally, Ms. Angielski: works with the House and Senate Appropriations Committees as they consider funding for federal programs; engages government and the public in discourse about innovative approaches to environmental regulations; and educates Members of Congress, their staff, and the Administrative agencies on the need for a diverse energy supply portfolio.

Currently, Ms. Angielski serves as the Associate Director of the Coal Utilization Research Council (CURC), an ad-hoc coalition of state, university, and business interests aligned to promote and pursue research and development programs and financial incentives that will lead to the cost-effective and environmentally superior use of coal. Through this and other representations, Ms. Angielski has actively addressed industry concerns regarding energy efficiency programs and the issues involved in the federal debate surrounding clean energy.
