Kristina Mohlin
Senior Economist
Work
Kristina Mohlin is a Senior Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist, where she provides economics expertise to support the organization’s advocacy on energy markets and looks for ways to bridge the gap between the research community and policymakers.
Kristina’s area of expertise is climate and energy policy. Her focus is natural gas and electricity markets where she uses her research training in economic theory and applied methods to understand the market design, relevant pollution regulations and barriers to market entry for low carbon resources. She also provides analysis on policy design for EDF's advocacy focused on reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.
