Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN), the largest dedicated residential solar,
storage and energy services company in the United States, is
pleased to announce today it has expanded its management team with
the hire of Audrey Lee, PhD as Vice President of Grid Services. The
hire further advances the company’s commitment to working with
utilities to modernize America’s energy infrastructure.
Sunrun previously announced its partnership with
National Grid, a leading international utility, to explore
opportunities to utilize local rooftop solar and home batteries to
create leaner, cleaner and less costly grid infrastructure. Dr. Lee
will lead this effort and work with other energy partners to
bring utilities and the wholesale energy market innovative
solutions to meet the needs of the grid more efficiently than
fossil fuels.
"We are thrilled to have Audrey Lee lead Sunrun’s
efforts to modernize America's utility grid with our growing solar
and storage resources,” said Lynn Jurich, CEO of Sunrun. “Sunrun is
bringing investment and innovation to distributed energy to make it
a cost effective option for utilities, just as it is for millions
of American homeowners today."
Lee recently served as Vice President of Analytics
and Design with Advanced Microgrid Solutions, where she was the
first company hire in 2014. Since then, she built and led teams
consisting of product managers, analysts, software developers, data
scientists and engineers. Additionally, she led pre-sales
analytics, product management and engineering to negotiate and
achieve $18 million in Series A corporate fundraising, as well as a
$200 million project finance raise – the largest dedicated energy
storage finance vehicle in history.
Prior to Advanced Microgrid Solutions, Dr. Lee also
worked with the U.S. Department of Energy, California Public
Utilities Commission and Massachusetts Department of Energy
Resources, developing regulatory structures to promote energy
innovation.
“For the last 10 years, Sunrun has demonstrated an
unwavering commitment to rooftop solar by continually innovating
and leading the industry to lower costs and increase accessibility
to homeowners across the country,” Dr. Lee said. “I look forward to
working at Sunrun, to further the mission of creating a planet run
by the sun by working with utilities to harness the power of
distributed energy resources in meeting our grid’s energy
needs.”
Dr. Lee joins a growing list of talented female
executives at Sunrun including CEO Lynn Jurich, General Counsel
Mina Kim, Chief Policy Officer Anne Hoskins and Vice-President of
Customer Operations Carla Stewart.
