About Craig Cox, Principal of Lyghtco LLC
A government affairs and public policy professional, Craig Cox brings more than two decades of successful experience in strategic policy development, market development and stakeholder communications for clients in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
In 2002, Craig founded the Interwest Energy Alliance and served as its executive director until 2012. Interwest, a trade association and the western regional partner of the American Wind Energy Association, represents the nation’s leading companies in the renewable energy industry. It conducts outreach and representational activities in state legislatures and regulatory commissions in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. In his decade at Interwest’s helm, Craig grew the association from a shoestring budget to its current position as one of the West’s leading renewable energy advocacy organizations.
In 2010 and 2011, Craig served as the “Wind Energy Technology Advocate” on the Scenario Planning Steering Group (SPSG), which works under the auspices of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s (WECC) Transmission Expansion Planning Policy Committee (TEPPC) and is part of the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Regional Transmission Expansion Planning (RTEP) project. The SPSG provides strategic guidance to TEPPC on scenarios to be modeled in transmission planning studies, the modeling tools to be used, and key assumptions to be used in creating and reviewing the scenarios.
Craig has been a member of various energy and transmission task forces and working groups throughout the West in recent years, particularly those sponsored by the Western Governors’ Association as well as by the State of Colorado.
In 2008, Craig received the first annual “Governor’s Excellence in Renewable Energy” individual award from Colorado Governor Bill Ritter and in 2007 he received the Colorado Environmental Coalition’s “Conservation Award.” In 2005, he received the “Wind Advocacy Award” from the American Wind Energy Association.
Craig has been active in renewable energy public policy development since working for Congressman Dan Schaefer (R-Colo.) in Washington, D.C. in the 1990s. In 1996, he initiated establishment of the U.S. House Renewables and Energy Efficiency Caucus on Schaefer’s behalf. This Caucus is an officially recognized bipartisan Congressional Member Organization that educates Members of Congress on clean renewable energy technologies.
Craig received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his Master’s degree from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
