In his time on Capitol Hill and at FERC, he established a reputation as a bipartisan operator who built alliances and cut through red tape. He has championed several strategic initiatives, including bolstering power grid reliability and resilience, boosting renewable resources’ ability to compete in regional power markets, and for the reduction of carbon emissions.
"Every DAC plant is also a clean energy project," said Adrian Corless, CEO of CarbonCapture Inc. "That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Neil to our team. His deep understanding of the energy landscape in the US and abroad will be incredibly important as we source large amounts of clean energy in the face of grid expansion challenges and bottlenecks."
