Ainslee is Senior Director of the Strategic Policy and Analysis Division in the Office of Energy Efficiency at Natural Resources Canada. She brings a wealth of experience from her work on energy policy in Canada, chairing the International Energy Agency’s Gender Advisory Council and representing Canada on the steering committee of the Clean Energy Ministerial.
Ainslee said: “We know that the technologies exist to drive the energy transitions the world needs. To accelerate their acceptance, uptake and use, the work of the Users TCP provides a vital interdisciplinary service to policy makers, drawing on evidence from our members and beyond. I am honoured to be chairing such a vital part of the International Energy Agency’s Technology Collaboration Programme.”
Ainslee takes up the role of Users TCP Chair after David Shipworth, Professor at University College London stepped down at our last Executive Committee meeting. David leaves the role after six years at the helm, guiding the TCP through its rebrand as User-Centred Energy Systems and leading the development of our work programme with dynamism, integrity and intellectual rigour.
