About
Tom Stanton is Technical Assistant in the Operations & Wholesale Markets Division at the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC), and is Coordinator of the MPSC’s Michigan Renewable Energy Program. Tom’s duties revolve around the electric and natural gas utility industries changing into a more competitive industry structure, and policy options for increasing the role of renewable energy and energy efficiency resources in Michigan. Recently, Tom was Renewable Energy Workgroup chairperson for the MPSC Michigan’s 21st Century Electric Energy Plan project.
Mr. Stanton has worked in the fields of electric utility regulation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and resource management & recycling for the Michigan Public Service Commission (and before that, the Michigan Energy Administration) for the past 29 years. He was director of the state's Energy Information Clearinghouse and Energy Hotline; directed the state Solar Tax Credit program; designed, developed and managed one of the state's first industrial energy analysis programs; and managed the Michigan Biomass Energy Program and the Michigan Resource Recovery Development Program. He has been an expert witness on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and electric utility restructuring policy issues in cases before the Michigan Public Service Commission. He has also been an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Resource Development and an associate of the Institute of Public Utilities at Michigan State University, teaching and lecturing in the fields of appropriate technology, demand-side management and energy efficiency, distributed energy resources, renewable energy, waste management, recycling, and community based energy policy and economic development. Tom’s major avocations are comprehensive anticipatory design-science revolution, eco-village design and living, and triple-bottom line sustainability.
In addition, Tom was a board member (1992-2004) and president (2001‑2004) of East Lansing's Urban Options Energy & Environmental Demonstration House, and a member of several state and national environmental groups, the Great Lakes and Midwest Renewable Energy Associations, Bioneers, the Pattern Language Association, and the World Future Society.
Tom earned a B.A. in Communications and M.A. in Journalism, both from Michigan State University, and completed coursework and comprehensive exams -- All But Dissertation -- towards a PhD in Public Administration at Western Michigan University.
