About Jill Steiner
Jill Steiner, Principal Strategy Consultant, Consumers Energy
Jill brings over 30 years of experience in the energy industry working in a variety of roles and locations. The constant has been a focus on improving policies and programs to advance clean energy alternatives through customer/client engagement, service delivery, infrastructure development, and market transformation. She took a short detour from the energy field as Public Sector Consultants' (PSC) director of evaluation where she was responsible for leading the firm’s evaluation projects across multiple domains including health and human services, education and community development, and the environment. As a Principal Strategy Consultant at Consumers Energy, she leads studies to determine the potential for energy efficiency and demand response to meet Michigan’s energy needs, evaluate impact of programs targeted to income-qualified customers, and identify new and emerging efficient technologies.
Prior to joining PSC, Jill served as a principal in Cadmus’ energy services division. In this role, she was responsible for leading dozens of process and impact evaluations of clean energy projects for diverse clients and provided strategic marketing analysis, regulatory support, and assessment of new products and services. Before that, Jill was manager of planning and evaluation at Snohomish County Public Utility District, where she established a team to set and achieve aggressive energy efficiency and renewable resource targets and led regional collaboration efforts.
Throughout her career, Jill has served on several committees and collaborative groups, such as the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Regional Technical Forum, Roadmap to Implementing Michigan’s New Energy Policy stakeholder workgroup, and the Michigan Senate Energy Legislation workgroup. She has testified before the Public Service Commissions in Michigan and Maryland, Missouri and Michigan legislatures, and U.S. District Court on energy policy, environmental impacts, and resource adequacy. She holds an MS in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Economics from Michigan State University.
Jill has been involved with AWE since it was founded in 2016, and has been on the Board for 2 years.
