PowerBridge is a holding company for project-level companies that develop, own, and operate large-scale electric transmission facilities and are pursuing infrastructure and renewables projects. The flagship project is the Neptune Regional Transmission System, a privately-financed undersea cable with power capacity of 660 MW, linking the mid-Atlantic power grid to Long Island, which was completed in 2007. A sister company, Hudson Transmission Partners, LLC, completed a similar underwater link to midtown Manhattan in 2013. Current projects in development include Cascade Renewable Transmission that will provide needed transmission capacity to bring renewable energy to Oregon and Washington. My principal role is directing permitting and regulatory compliance activities, in addition to corporate communications and government relations, requiring me to work closely with engineering, environmental, construction, legal, and financial professionals.
