Clean energy and development company Nexamp has named its newest chief development officer, who has nearly a dozen years of experience in the company.
In 2008, shortly after Chris Clark joined the company, the timing of the economic collapse pushed clean energy and carbon solutions to the back burner.
“The health of the global climate at the time was already begging for aggressive action, but the realities of the business climate suggested that perhaps the world was not ready,” Clark said.
Most recently, Clark served as senior vice president of research and development. Now as CDO, he says he wants to see Nexamp’s utility-scale and battery-storage offerings grow in the way the company's community-solar work has in the past.
“Nexamp is a highly regarded national community-solar player, if not the preeminent player in this space. I'd like to see Nexamp become synonymous for both utility scale as well as our storage and potentially other product offerings as we look ahead,” Clark said.
Nexamp’s works to build solar projects in a particular location, then sells the energy from those projects at a reduced or discounted rate to end customers. They can be residential customers, small commercial customers, or large and industrial enterprises.
For large industrial customers, Nexamp is looking to enter into long term contracts that save clients money over the long term.
“One of the reasons Nexamp has been so successful is its ability to innovate through offering our residential customers contracts with no upfront fees, no long term contracts, no FICO scores, all of these options were unique to this space,” Clark said.
He says the political climate is once again behind clean energy, and that will help drive the company's plans for growth.
The Boston-based company has eight satellite offices across the U.S., with 282 employees. It plans to continue aggressive hiring as the year goes on, with no specific goal headcount-wise.
