Allison Clements focuses on the intersection of market design, policy and technological innovation as the key to cost effectively and reliably facilitating the energy transition.

Following her term as a Commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, she founded 804 Advisory to harness her deep knowledge of grid planning, interconnection and market design towards strategy and policy solutions for energy customers, providers and investors.

As a senate-confirmed federal regulator, Allison understands the impact of complex technical regulations on energy infrastructure development, transactions and operations. During her time at FERC, she worked to reform regional transmission planning and cost allocation through landmark rule Order 1920; reformed grid interconnection queues in Order 2023 with a “next steps” concurrence road map to lead sector thinking; championed innovation and the use of grid enhancing technologies, demand side resources and energy efficiency; and focused on evolving market rules to more accurately reflect changing grid needs and resource value relative to those needs. She also led establishment of FERC’s Office of Public Participation.

Prior to being a Commissioner, Allison was an original grid geek. In addition to her day jobs as an attorney in private practice, then strategist and policy advocate, she served as an energy expert in several capacities, including as a member of a National Academies of Sciences committee on grid resilience, co-chair of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Electric Grid Initiative, and founding host of the Grid Geeks podcast.

In addition to 804 Advisory, Allison is also a partner with data center advisory firm ASG.
