Southwest Energy Efficiency Project

Staff Biography for Stephen V. Dunn

Steve Dunn is a Senior Associate with the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP), a public interest organization promoting energy efficiency policies and programs in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. SWEEP is based in Boulder, Colorado.

Prior to joining SWEEP in February 2007, Mr. Dunn worked as a Policy Analyst with EPA’s Clean Energy-Environment State Partnership – a voluntary program that helps states identify and implement cost-effective clean energy policies. At EPA, he worked with multiple states to identify, evaluate, and implement clean energy programs and policies. He coordinated the development of EPA’s Clean Energy-Environment Guide to Action, which identifies and describes 16 clean energy policies and strategies that states have used to meet their clean energy objectives. He also developed subsequent products and provided technical assistance to help states develop and implement ‘Lead by Example’ clean energy initiatives, and assess the multiple energy, environmental, and economic benefits of their clean energy programs.

Prior to joining EPA, Mr. Dunn worked for The H. John Heinz Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment (The Heinz Center) – a nonprofit institution dedicated to improving the scientific and economic foundation for environmental policy through multi-sectoral collaboration among industry, government, academia, and environmental organizations. At The Heinz Center, he conducted research and developed policy options for addressing coastal hazards and global climate change. He coordinated a nationally recognized analysis of the physical and economic impacts of coastal erosion on coastal properties and the National Flood Insurance Program (Evaluation of Erosion Hazards), prepared briefings on global climate change science and policy options, and organized national workshops and seminars on technologies and policy options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr. Dunn received his Masters Degree in Environmental Policy and Management from the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University, and a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz.
