Chief Business & Regulatory Innovations Officer
General MicroGrids
Larisa Dobriansky is Chief Business & Regulatory Innovations Officer at General MicroGrids. She focuses on regulatory, institutional and financial changes that can leverage the capabilities of advanced microgrids to deliver integrated energy solutions to power systems and communities. Drawing upon over 20 years of experience in the Energy, Environmental and Financial regulatory fields, she helps shape new financing mechanisms, market designs, and utility and energy regulatory reforms to support a sustainable, efficient, reliable and resilient transformation of Grid and Community energy infrastructure to meet 21st century demands. Ms. Dobriansky is helping to achieve reforms that can capture the value that an intelligent, dynamic microgrid system can provide to the Grid, Market and Communities. Her efforts are aimed at incentivizing investment in Advanced Microgrids that optimize distributed resources, expand "energy-sharing" parameters, and foster transactive energy markets.
Ms. Dobriansky has served in senior management positions within the private sector and U.S. Government. She formerly served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for National Energy Policy at the U.S. Department of Energy. In that capacity, she secured U.S. Congressional authorization for the Department's first loan guarantee program for clean energy technologies to address the "Valley of Death" and move technologies out of demonstration and into the marketplace. She is currently working with microgrid developers, utilities, Federal and State governmental agencies and regulators, local communities, consumer advocates, NGOs and other stakeholders to develop a "regulatory eco-system" to support Advanced Microgrid and Integrated Local Energy Network market development.
