Comment: Potentially notable (although I'm not sure) but it needs to focus on independent sources and be restricted to those that actually mention Foster by name to avoid original research issues. (t · c) buidhe 18:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

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.

Early life and education[edit]

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.

International career[edit]

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.
