“I am passionate about renewable energy sources and sustainable energy generation and am excited to work with these resources. Hydroelectric power generation serves a central role in renewable energy generation, especially when it comes to predictability, grid momentum, and the ability to store large amounts of energy for future use. Responsible management, maintenance, and creation of hydroelectric and other renewable energy facilities is key to preserving our natural resources, and creating sustainable, clean energy for today and the future.”
