Last month, Robin Tyner—a 2020-2021 Veterans Advanced Energy Fellow and US Navy Captain (Retired)— hosted a networking event for military veterans in advanced energy in Stratham, New Hampshire. The event took place at the private residence of Dr. Michael Bates and Rebecca Bates—supporters of military veterans and sustainability efforts.
Speakers at the event included energy executives and experts from the field. Approximately 30 people comprised a highly engaged audience that asked multiple questions of each speaker. Edward Drew, VP/General Manager at C-Power and US Naval Academy Class of ‘89, provided a grid and sustainability overview. Amy Farnham represented Revision Energy, a solar provider throughout New Hampshire and Maine, and offered military and veteran discounts. Other speakers included Jon Sherrill from Key HVAC, a geothermal and heat pump systems company, Nate Johnson from ORPC, a marine hydrokinetic power company, and Janet Stevens, a regional representative to the New Hampshire Executive Council. Additionally, the President and Vice President of Military Officer Association of America in New Hampshire (MOAA-NH) both attended, as well as representatives from three local municipal energy committees and the New Hampshire Military Coaching Alliance.
The Veterans Advanced Energy Project is designed to drive US leadership in advanced energy by recruiting, equipping, and empowering military veterans who understand the importance of the evolving energy landscape to our future security and prosperity. The Veterans Advanced Energy Project is a managed by the Global Energy Center within the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan 501(c)3 nonprofit. www.AtlanticCouncil.org
