  • Lead emissions compliance, air permitting, and environmental reporting leveraging best practices for both gas and coal generation. 

Electric Interconnection & Load Study 

  • Lead electric interconnection strategy for large-scale HPC data centers, including transmission and distribution studies, interconnection applications, and utility negotiations. 
  • Coordinate detailed load studies, capacity planning, and system impact assessments to guide all energy infrastructure investments and support optimal site selection. 
  • Oversee technical due diligence for campus-level N+2 redundancy, reliability design, and operations planning. 
  • Manage relationships with utilities, independent system operators (ISOs), and regional transmission organizations (RTOs), especially within PJM. 

BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) Development 

  • Lead all aspects of BESS deployment, including technology selection, system sizing, integration with onsite and grid power assets, and operations strategies (peak shaving, reserve markets, islanding). 
  • Develop business cases for grid services revenue, capacity augmentation, and resilience enhancement through BESS at each campus. 
  • Oversee regulatory permits and market participation for battery assets, especially in evolving grid services and demand response opportunities. 

Multi-Fuel Power Source Strategy 

  • Create and execute scalable multi-fuel power campus strategies balancing electric, gas, coal, and battery assets. 
  • Drive innovation in fuel switching, hybrid energy systems, and energy management platforms to enhance flexibility, cost efficiency, and uptime for HPC. 
  • Benchmark evolving market dynamics, regulatory changes, and technology breakthroughs to continuously optimize the campus energy mix. 

Project Leadership & Stakeholder Management 

  • Orchestrate complex infrastructure projects from technical design through permit approvals, construction, commissioning, and handover. 
  • Lead cross-functional teams (engineering, construction, legal, finance) spanning multiple regions to meet aggressive timelines and project goals. 
  • Oversee contract management across all energy procurements, equipment vendors, EPC contracts, and utility interconnection agreements. 
  • Represent the company with industry groups, utilities, government agencies, and environmental partners.

  • 7+ years of direct experience with electric power and gas utilities, emphasis on multi-fuel power campus development and operations. 
  • Successful track record leading large-scale energy asset projects (generation, transmission, interconnection, BESS, coal/gas plants) in deregulated markets. 
  • Deep experience with infrastructure contract management, negotiations, and risk assessment. 
  • Previous background in data center, hyperscale, or HPC campus environments highly valued. 

Technical Expertise 

  • Subject matter expertise in electric and gas interconnection, load studies, operational planning, and coordination with PJM and other ISOs/RTOs. 
  • In-depth exposure to gas and coal generation technologies, interconnection permitting, pipeline negotiation, and onsite asset development. 
  • Advanced knowledge of BESS technologies, design, performance assessment, implementation, and grid market strategies. 
  • Capability to design and manage scalable, redundant, and resilient multi-fuel energy solutions for critical computing facilities.
