“Long Island is taking a leading role in the burgeoning renewable energy industry in what may be the biggest business development since… Grumman Corporation built the Lunar Module … to put the first men on the Moon in 1969.”

Our team attended the Long Island Energy Conference, in an audience of over 100 important Long Island energy and industry professionals.

“When we talk about the energy transition, we always talk about not leaving anyone behind,” Rudy Wynter, president of National Grid, told the Press. “We have to make sure the workforce is ready for that transition, and make sure our customers are ready for that transition.

“I’m working on other renewable energies like green hydrogen, which is very important,” State Sen. Mario Mattera, the ranking member on the senate energy and telecommunications committee, said.

Closing remarks were given by our friend Sammy Chu, CEO of Edgewise Energy a commercial energy solutions company. “My biggest hope is that we all continue to work together,” Chu told the Press. “We need to make sure that we understand that we’re all invested in this, that everyone has something to contribute to this, and that we continue to do the work because it’s gonna take all of us to get there.”
