Denver-based SunEdison, a provider of solar energy for commercial, government and utility customers, has appointed Rick Gilliam director of western states policy.
In his new role, Gilliam will oversee solar policy initiatives for the company. He is the principal author of Amendment 37 – the renewable energy ballot initiative in Colorado passed by the voters in 2004 – and proponent of a coalition of wind and solar industry and advocacy organizations on implementation rules. In 2005, Gilliam received the first Larson-Notari Award for advancing renewable policy from the Colorado Renewable Energy Society.
