After completing a Masters Degree in Energy and Resources from the University of California at Berkeley from the Energy, JP joined Greenpeace to advocate for wind and solar as an alternative to 50GW of new gas plants in response to the California Energy crisis.</p> <p>JP then moved to Vote Solar and successfully campaigned for California’s Million Solar Roofs initiative that helped make solar energy the most cost-effective source of energy. He lead Vote Solar’s activities in pro-solar rate design regulatory proceedings across the US.

He is now the Vice President of Local Development, Electrification and Innovation at East Bay Community Energy, serving electricity to 1.5M people in Alameda County and San Joaquin Valleys.
