Romey James is a Senior Technical Leader in Program 178: Resource Planning for Electric Power Systems at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
Mr. James leads Project Set 178A which studies the cost and performance of low-carbon, renewable, nuclear, energy storage, and fossil-based energy resources and provides analytical tools and data to evaluate resource options and operational impacts. He also leads the technoeconomics portfolio of the Integrated Energy Systems Analysis Technical Subcommittee in EPRI’s Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI), performing technoeconomic analysis of a wide variety of technologies including electrolysis, carbon capture, fuel production, and power generation.
Before joining the Program 178 at EPRI, Mr. James worked for the New York Power Authority evaluating customer rate impacts from generation and transmission assets, and prior to that he worked in Duke Energy’s renewables forecasting group where he developed a range of technoeconomic inputs for resource planning analyses.
Mr. James earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Cincinnati where his thesis project examined the production of biofuels from microalgae. He holds an MBA with a concentration in quantitative methods for business from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
