It’s a site that makes her glow, nearly 500 sprawling acres of 400,000 shiny rectangular modules sucking in solar rays in a remote valley 30 miles north of the Chilean capital of Santiago. For Paulina Cox Vyhmeister had a strong hand in making this project a reality, and it’s a major contributor to her homeland’s […]

David Ralph – Baltimore Gas and Electric
There’s got to be some middle ground between affordable and environmentally benign energy. Not that it’ll satisfy everyone but it’s still a laudable goal. It’s a goal that David Ralph pursues with colleagues at Baltimore Gas and Electric. Vice president and general counsel for the past three years and, prior to then, assistant general counsel […]
Sarah Hurt – Jefferson Energy Companies
They were already a fixture on the Neches River waterfront in Beaumont, Texas. The Jefferson Energy Cos. had six rail track loops connecting three interstate railroads, two docks, and storage for 2.9 million barrels of crude oil and refined products. In the past two years, the company, a subsidiary of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors, […]
John Stewart – Oncor Electric Delivery Co. LLC
It seemed like an ordinary assignment for crews at Oncor Electric Delivery Co. LLC. Trees outside a customer’s home were growing into the path of the wires and they needed to be trimmed back. Then, the crew discovered the homeowner perched in the tree to prevent trimming. She wasn’t budging. So, Vice President for Litigation […]
David Frydenlund – Energy Fuels Inc.
David Frydenlund may not have expected to become well-versed in nuclear energy and rare earth metals as part of his legal career.

The country’s been so successful that, according to María Fernanda Esquivel, in 2021, its energy matrix consists of 99.2 percent clean energy generation—compared to 19.8 percent in […]
Joshua Pearson – EDF Renewables North America
It’s been hard to ignore the extreme weather events as of late. Between the wildfires ravaging the West Coast, the deep freeze in Texas and the hurricanes destroying areas of the U.S. and the Caribbean, these incidents seem to be occurring with more regularity. Joshua Pearson has been taking note and he knows others are, […]
Dan Dillon – Novel Energy Solutions
While some solar companies only serve one function, Dan Dillon says the one he works for is a little more, well, novel. Aptly named, Novel Energy Solutions develops land for solar infrastructure, constructs solar gardens and facilities, and oversees their operations by maintaining equipment and managing subscribers. Dillon, the company’s general counsel, says this vertical […]
Gail Richardson Job – Consolidated Edison Company of New York
There’s no price on reputation, and Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc. will spend to defend its name. So emphasizes Gail Richardson Job, who’s soon to celebrate her 22nd anniversary as an assistant general counsel at the New York City-headquartered energy company commonly known as Con Edison. Litigation being her role, she leads a […]
