LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.

For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force for protecting our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We have built a powerful national movement with 30 state affiliates, and grassroots and community organizing programs across the country.

LCV played a major role in advocating for the successful passage of the historic Inflation Reduction Act, which included $369 billion in climate and clean energy investments. Combined with climate investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, these historical investments create unprecedented opportunities in all fifty states to implement climate solutions – from renewable energy to clean transportation to resilience – that will dramatically cut carbon pollution while creating clean energy jobs and advancing climate justice.

The climate movement faces the challenge of ensuring that state and local governments, as well as community stakeholders, are fully aware of and taking advantage of the opportunities these investments create. This requires educating and engaging policymakers at all levels of government, building awareness campaigns that reach grassroots communities, and driving a media narrative that conveys the importance of fully scaling the climate solutions the Affordable Clean Energy plan offers. We’re also committed to raising awareness about the equity and jobs benefits the Affordable Clean Energy Plan brings with key stakeholders in low-wealth communities, communities of color, and unions.

LCV is seeking an Affordable Clean Energy Plan Implementation Intern who will support the Senior Director for Federal Climate and Clean Energy Solutions in doing action-oriented research and preparing advocacy-focused briefs and campaign materials to support LCV’s efforts to engage policymakers and grassroots members promoting the benefits of this historic law. The person in this role will join a Fall 2024 internship cohort that will have access to development opportunities including a Capstone project, informational interviews with staff, and organization-wide training and discussions.
Intern Will Gain Experience in:

Action-oriented research that supports grassroots climate and clean energy campaigning.
Synthesizing policy documents outlining Affordable Clean Energy plan benefits, and translating these into grassroots-facing policy and messaging documents.
Understanding strategic pathways for engaging policymakers to use their influence to champion climate and clean energy solutions.
Centering equity in clean energy advocacy.

Qualifications:

Skills: Highly organized; strong attention to detail; excellent written and oral communications skills; strong research skills; exhibits solid judgment; critical thinking skills; able to work independently and as a team; able to handle multiple tasks; self-starter; proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and Google Suite.
Racial Justice and Equity Competencies: Demonstrated awareness of how one’s life experiences influence one’s personal attitudes, biases, and assumptions. Demonstrated commitment to continual learning and ability to successfully deliver culturally responsive services. Commitment to equity and inclusion as organizational practice and culture. Understands how environmental issues intersect with racism, economic and social inequality in the U.S. and has a passion for working to dismantle these systems. Commitment to environmental protection and mission of LCV.
Working Conditions: Applicants must be located in and legally authorized to work in the United States.

WRI’s Energy Program speeds the transition to a low-carbon, inclusive energy future by helping to build clean energy markets and change institutions. The U.S. Energy team focuses on decarbonization of the power and transportation sectors, with a focus of working with local and state governments, large energy buyers, utilities and others. The team focuses on effective implementation of new federal funding and programs through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to accelerate equitable deployment of clean energy. Our team accelerates deployment of renewable energy and clean energy technologies by addressing barriers, replicating successful models, and supporting policies or programs to accelerate adoption and achieve 100% clean energy in the power sector. WRI also undertakes research to support action, covering approaches to: addressing barriers to clean energy development, expanding the grid to enable the energy transition, accelerating equitable access to clean energy, expanding electrification, and encouraging adoption of new technologies to enable the pathway to 100% clean energy. Increasingly, WRI is integrating equity and social justice concerns into all of its work supporting the clean energy transition to ensure it benefits all.

The U.S. Energy Program’s work includes supporting cities with ambitious clean energy and transportation goals through programs such as the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) and SolSmart programs, the City Renewables Accelerator, and the Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities program. C2C, for example, is a multi-million-dollar federal technical assistance program that provides participants – including local governments, tribes, electric utilities, and community-based organizations – with expertise and tools to support clean energy deployment. As part of C2C, WRI runs peer-learning groups and plays a significant role in the design, recruitment, selection, content development, workshop execution, and individual technical assistance efforts to make the project a success.

We focus on removing market and institutional barriers to clean energy deployment through efforts to enable cities to have a stronger voice on wholesale power market and grid issues. We also lead initiatives to encourage both new transmission build as well as approaches to increase the capacity of the existing transmission system, such as through use of advanced technologies. Our work on grid-related issues includes developing knowledge products, hosting convenings, and educating and engaging with policymakers.

Job Highlight:

Reporting to the Lead – Energy Program, you will provide expert support to the US Energy team on innovative strategies to advance equitable uptake of solar and clean energy technologies; develop new products that enable cities and other large energy users to meet their clean energy and electrification targets; help cities and companies deploy clean energy technologies; and address regulatory, siting, and permitting challenges to adoption.You will manage and support projects that involve: providing technical assistance to local governments and states, convening groups of stakeholders to drive outcomes, authoring knowledge products and blogs, and communicating research findings to internal and external audiences. You will also host stakeholder meetings and webinars, engage with key partners, and help support expansion of WRI’s work to create and scale clean energy solutions, including increasing access among low-income customers. You will support WRI’s domestic energy projects such as our work on U.S. DOE’s Clean Energy to Communities and SolSmart programs as well as U.S. EPA’s Solar for All program, which aims to enable solar adoption in low-income and disadvantaged communities. Your work will involve conducting research on pathways to accelerate deployment of low-carbon technologies in the power sector, developing new models for low-income customer access to solar and other clean energy sources in affordable housing, encouraging local siting and permitting best practices for solar and distributed wind, and addressing regulatory, utility and grid-related barriers to clean energy and vehicle electrification.

We are seeking a manager to lead projects that scale clean energy deployment in the power sector by accelerating demand for clean energy and removing barriers to siting and deployment. You will have an understanding of and experience working with cities and states, utilities, regulators, federal agencies, as well as solar, wind, storage, and other clean energy technologies. Experience with managing projects and deliverables and meeting client needs is important, and knowledge of government programs and awards processes is a plus.
