Brandon Johnson is a Senior Technical Leader within the Energy Systems and Climate Analysis Group. Since joining EPRI in 2014, his research focus has been examining the economic and environmental impacts of electric and low carbon end-use technology adoption. As part of these efforts, he has developed several modeling tools, including EPRI’s Geospatial End-Use Model (GEM) which is has been used for quantifying future energy, demand, and emission impacts of end-use loads by county. Brandon has worked with many utilities to apply these tools as part of various electrification assessments.
Prior to joining EPRI, Brandon worked as a post-graduate researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Power & Energy Systems Group. There, he developed a stochastic model of household behavior which was used in quantifying the potential impact of residential demand response programs.
Brandon holds both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
