Between the model and the decision
Her work sits at the intersection of economics, finance and policy, translating technical and regulatory data into something management, the Board and the regulator can act on. Little of it is done alone: the tariff work runs in liaison with finance, the appraisals feed planning, and the agreements are negotiated and then implemented by committees she sits on. The hands-on side of it is power demand forecasting, investment appraisal, PPA analysis and negotiation support for commercial contracts.
The underlying interest is energy sector sustainability, infrastructure finance and evidence-based decision-making, particularly in emerging and developing economies, where the gap between a defensible model and a deliverable tariff is widest.
