Flatiron Energy announced today the appointment of Scott Schwartz as Chief Development Officer.
Schwartz brings extensive industry experience to Flatiron. He is joining from RWE Clean Energy, where his most recent leadership position was Vice President of Utility-Scale Development for the East region, and he developed a 9 GW portfolio of standalone storage, solar, and onshore wind assets. Schwartz previously held other leadership positions within RWE and in the U.S. Navy.
Flatiron develops, owns, and operates utility-scale energy storage projects that provide flexible and reliable power to areas with increasing energy demands while reducing ratepayer costs. Flatiron’s development assets continue to mature, positioning Flatiron to become a premier regional IPP in the rapidly changing Northeast and Mid-Atlantic power market landscapes.
“We are delighted to welcome Scott to Flatiron as our company enters a new stage of accelerated growth,” said Jonathan Poor, Flatiron’s Chief Operating Officer. “Scott’s experience and proven leadership will further drive our company forward as we build on our multi-gigawatt pipeline of storage assets and bring them into commercial operation.”
Schwartz said, “the Flatiron team has built a truly exceptional business with tremendous momentum in a short period of time. I couldn’t be more pleased than to join the company at this important new phase of rapid growth and development.”
Schwartz replaces Brett Cullen, who has decided to step down from the role. Cullen, who will become an advisor to the executive team, said, “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and confident that the company is well positioned for its next phase of growth. Scott brings tremendous experience and I look forward to supporting the team that has built Flatiron into a market leader.”
Flatiron announced last month an upsized credit facility and equity commitments, which comes on the heels of the company’s recent announcement that it has closed approximately $540 million of financing commitments from leading financial institutions to support the construction and operations of its Taft Project in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
