Rachel Bray

Rachel is a Research Associate in the Centre for Energy Policy, University of Strathclyde; where her research is split between her role in EnergyREV and working alongside Rebecca Ford on her COP26 Fellowship ‘ALIGN’ focusing on the opportunities to enhance benefits and mitigate negative outcomes in a Just net-zero energy transition. Similarly, Rachel’s role in EnergyREV focuses on the impacts of new policies and practices emerging from the PFER programme, examining the mechanisms by which these policies and practices might deliver a socially just, equitable, net-zero energy system.
