Pamela Miller

Pamela Miller serves as a Senior Project Manager at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), where she acts as the primary technical contact for procurement initiatives aligned with the agency’s mission to accelerate clean energy adoption. In this role, she leads the evaluation, scoping, and oversight of technical consulting services critical to advancing energy efficiency, building decarbonization, and renewable energy integration across New York State. Her acquisitions focus on expert-driven solutions that support policy implementation, technology deployment, and performance validation, ensuring projects meet rigorous technical and equity benchmarks. Pamela collaborates with a diverse array of technical consultants and engineering firms specializing in energy systems analysis, building performance modeling, and grid modernization. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in energy policy, HVAC optimization, and electrification strategy. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous technical due diligence, iterative feedback loops, and a preference for vendors who bring multidisciplinary teams and real-world implementation experience to complex energy challenges. Pamela’s procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical capability and alignment with NYSERDA’s strategic objectives. Her approach prioritizes merit-based selection grounded in demonstrated expertise over socioeconomic criteria, ensuring outcomes are driven by technical merit and project fit. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—encompassing energy audits, carbon footprint modeling, grid resilience planning, and clean heating and cooling technology assessments. She routinely procures services from firms specializing in building energy modeling, thermal performance analysis, and decarbonization roadmap development, reflecting deep expertise in the technical domains of building science, renewable integration, and energy equity.
