Listen Later

In this episode of Energy Unplugged, we are delighted to welcome Ethan Zindler, Climate Counselor at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he leads the Treasury’s Climate Hub. Ethan joins our Head of Advisory for the UK & Ireland, Brian Potskowski, and Lizzie Bonahoom, Associate in our U.S. Research team, to discuss the current landscape and future of the U.S. energy transition, especially in light of the upcoming November 5th election.


Before joining the Treasury, Ethan served as Head of Americas at BloombergNEF (BNEF). He played a pivotal role in the creation of Climatescope, an annual public resource detailing clean energy investment conditions in emerging market economies since 2012. Ethan has also authored reports on climate and clean energy for organisations such as the Climate Investment Funds at the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations, among others.

Main topics include the following:

  • What is the progress to date for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and how could the upcoming elections in the United States impact its future?
  • Could the costs of the IRA overshoot, given higher power demand growth driven by generative AI?
  • How is the United States supporting Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) and what is the outlook for delivery of their objectives?
