Eddy grew up in South Carolina in the upstate, near the mountains, but spent a lot of time on the coast, camping with family and shrimping and fishing. He now lives in Charleston to be near the coast.

Even as a child, Eddy was interested in energy because it underlies everything else. Following a 10 year stint on Capitol Hill, he moved to California, working for an environmental non-profit in transportation, energy, and water policy. After helping pass a solar energy bill, he knew he was hooked on public utility issues. Eddy moved to Arkansas for law school and went on to work for the Arkansas Public Service Commission, where he helped craft a major expansion in energy efficiency programs and net metering. After seven years at the PSC, he moved home to South Carolina and has been working on various utility reforms following the abandonment of a nuclear plant in 2017. Eddy believes a regional outlook is needed with utilities’ current rush to expand fossil gas in the Southeast, so he’s glad to be part of the SACE team.

When he is not pecking on his laptop, Eddy tries to learn tennis, cooks, plays frisbee, and hangs out with his Italian greyhound, Huey.
