Welcome to the New York State Clean Energy Podcast
This is OneDER Cast, a clean energy podcast dedicated to exploring Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and all types of cleantech and renewable energy in New York State. We discuss technologies, economics, regulations, workforce development, community engagement, and much more in the realm of cleantech. Our focus is on how these initiatives drive economic growth, advance decarbonization, and contribute to a more reliable electricity grid and a healthier community for all New Yorkers.
​Educating NYS clean energy professionals to accelerate project deployment with a community-focused approach.
I am your host
My name is Rachael Cornick, Ray for short.
My career began as a chemical engineer in operations at an industrial gas company, advocating for increased sustainability.
Seeking a more direct path to impact, I transitioned to cleantech and became a partner in a boutique commercial-scale solar, wind, and storage development company. I have been the Executive Director for a renewable energy nonprofit and have led operations teams deploying advanced smart grid and Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) technology.
I currently teach about clean energy at Binghamton University, serve on the program committee of Cleantech Leaders Roundtable and am a professional singer.
