Dunsky Welcomes Senior Clean Energy and Climate Expert Sam Ross


Dunsky is thrilled to welcome Sam Ross to our team. Based in Rhode Island, Sam is a respected leader in the Northeastern clean energy sector and brings over a decade of experience developing and implementing strategic initiatives at the nexus of clean energy, economics and data analysis.
“As a hybrid firm – part engineering, part management consulting, all clean energy and climate – Sam is a natural fit for our team,” said Philippe Dunsky, President of Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors. “He is as comfortable facilitating conversations with utility sector leaders as he is analyzing complex modelling results. His deep understanding of economics, familiarity with DERs and cutting-edge grid management approaches, and first-hand experience helping organizations optimize their internal infrastructure to better support GHG reduction targets make him a valuable resource for our clients in the U.S. and Canada.”
About Sam
Sam is known for providing nuanced advice and turning complex data into actionable, equitable and practical recommendations attuned to clients’ realities.
He has over 10 years of proven success leading collaborative stakeholder consensus-building, overseeing the development of purpose-built quantitative models and analytical tools, and applying rigorous best practices in clean energy, environmental economics, financial analysis, and climate science.
Sam has developed and won approval for innovative demand-side management and decarbonization programs; supported state agencies and utility regulators in long-term planning to achieve policy objectives; developed and deployed near-term oversight and continuous improvement processes for clean energy programs; and built out organizational infrastructure to tackle emerging challenges and opportunities.
A former founder and entrepreneur, Sam continues to mentor climate startups in the Northeast. He is also a former member of AESP’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council, among other positions.
