Now retired, Jane Hill worked in a variety of areas related to energy. Much of her work involved developing computer models for evaluating options to improve energy efficiency and economics--in particular options related to distributed generation. She was also involved in the development of some of the first demand response programs in the US, as well as the joint use of standby generators for backup power and load shedding.
She has served on the boards of the Southeastern Energy Society and the South Carolina Chapter of the U. S. Green Building Council. She is a retired professional engineer in Georgia and South Carolina, and she is a Certified Energy Manager and a Certified Cogeneration Professional.
She has published a number of papers in the United States, Canada, and Europe. These papers address cogeneration, peak shaving, waste-to-energy, transboundary power plant emissions, and economic implications of electric generation options.
Although retired, she still follows energy issues closely.
