Stemwinder is led by Shannon Ratliff, a seasoned advocate with over 20 years of experience representing wind, solar, storage, and emerging energy technologies in Texas’ competitive electricity market.

Shannon began working on these issues in the early days of Texas’ wind boom when the industry embodied the state’s wildcatter spirit. Texas remains a dynamic hub for energy innovation, attracting new technologies eager to test and thrive in this 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.
