Renewable energy consultancy Natural Power has appointed Chris Ziesler as head of advisory and analytics in North America.
Ziesler (pictured) will be based out of the Saratoga Springs, New York, office.
He joins from UL Renewables.
Ziesler’s career spans three decades in the renewables and environment sectors with a strong focus on wind energy where he has held various senior roles in both North America and the UK.
He said: “I joined Natural Power for two simple, compelling reasons: it has such a strong, vibrant team who are passionate about how their work can help facilitate the energy transition, and it is poised for significant growth throughout the next few years.
“I’m really excited to have the opportunity to help realize the potential of Natural Power’s Advisory and Analytics team.”
Jim Adams, Natural Power’s President of North American operations, said: “We’re delighted that Chris has joined us.
“His industry expertise and in-depth technical knowledge undoubtedly add strength and breadth to our team as we continue to grow our portfolio throughout the US and beyond.
“We recently reached a major milestone, having delivered technical advisory services on more than 100GW of renewable energy projects in North America.
“As the industry as a whole continues to grow, it’s an exciting time for renewables and we’ll continue to expand our team as we support the journey to net zero.”
From its three US offices in New York, Seattle and the Denver area, Natural Power supports a range of clients including institutional investors and banks, developers, asset owners, power producers and utilities, as well as government organisations.
