Stemwinder is led by Shannon Ratliff, a seasoned advocate with over 20 years of experience navigating Texas electricity policy on behalf of generators and emerging energy technologies. Shannon has represented clients across the full range of electricity policy issues in Texas, including market design, reliability, transmission policy, and decommissioning.

Shannon began working on these issues in the early days of Texas' wind boom when the industry embodied the state's wildcatter spirit. That experience spans the full arc of Texas energy policy, from the early battles over transmission and market rules to today's debates over resource adequacy, storage, and the next generation of technologies entering the market.

But integrating new technologies into the market comes with complexity. Texas’ evolving energy landscape demands a legislative and regulatory environment that balances innovation, reliability, and affordability. Stemwinder is built on deep experience and a commitment to shaping policies that meet this challenge.
