Welcome Bill Hartman: New Expert in the Clean Power Community - [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
Originally posted here as a part of the ongoing Energy Central Power Perspectives written interview series I run, interviewing top utility industry experts for the Energy Central Community.
For much of its history, the energy industry was largely dominated by central utility giants that covered all the power and gas needs of its region. While that centralized utility model still persists and succeeds, since the turn of the century the industry has also seen the rise of more small operations, tech startups, and new players looking to innovate in the world of energy. In particular, the clean energy space has seen a rise in these new thought leaders and creative solutions.
Making sure to keep up with the developments and perspectives of central utilities and upstart innovators is critical to a well-rounded view of the energy industry today, tomorrow, and beyond. With that in mind, I was excited that we were able to add Bill Hartman to the Energy Central Network of Experts. Bill has experience in the tech startup space, and that’s brought him to his role today with Atargis Energy Company and their efforts to bring to the foreground ocean wave generation technology.
As our newest Clean Power Expert, he’s also here to share his wisdom and experience in these critical topics that see disruptor after disruptor coming along. And that involvement as an expert started with this entry in our official Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’
