Scott Bailie Foster led the Sustainable Energy Division (SED) at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe from 2011 to 2022. SED manages a broad portfolio of energy-related activities for nearly one-billion people across 56 member states. Foster joined the United Nations in 2011 and, during his time at the UN, worked extensively with governments, international organizations and civil society on sustainable energy policy, market design and regulation. Prior to joining the United Nations, Foster worked for over 30 years as a management consultant, gas and power utility executive, and energy market analyst.
Foster was born in Washington DC, United States of America. He grew up in Manila ( Philippines) and Rotterdam ( Netherlands) as part of a United States Foreign Service family. His family retired to Asheville, North Carolina in 1970.
He was a Classics and Biology double major at Dartmouth College, then completed a Master of Science in Civil Engineering at Stanford University. He later earned an MBA at the University of California, Berkeley. [1] [2] [3]
Prior to joining the United Nations, he founded an international consulting firm to develop regulatory standards for the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy. He also worked at Cambridge Energy Research Associates.
Foster started his international career at the International Energy Agency in Paris, France where he led the agency's work on electricity markets. This led to support for G7 efforts to close nuclear power plants of Soviet design that were considered unsafe.
iEnergy is a concept promoted by Mr. Scott Foster that promises a transformative transition on how energy is produced, purchased, consumed and managed. The primary aim of this concept is to shift energy from a traditional commodity basis to a subscription- based model. By subscribing to energy services, consumers can benefit from a more predictable and potentially lower-cost energy supply. This innovative business model enables to make energy cheaper, more resilient and more environmentally sustainable. A crucial feature of such business model is the integration of renewable sources of energy, which aligns with the global efforts to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability.
Mr. Foster has endorsed this concept in numerous public appearances and speeches, highlighting its benefits and the need for a substantial shift in energy management. [4] [5]
