As a member of RAP’s team in Europe, Dominic Scott focuses on the power sector, including demand response, market reform and maximising the potential of the Clean Energy for All Europeans package. He came to RAP with more than a decade of experience in energy and environmental regulation and policy, spanning the public, private and academic sectors.
Before joining RAP in 2021, Scott lectured in energy economics and policy at the University of Reykjavik and provided advice to clients including Icelandic utilities and the Institute of Economic Studies.
