Clean Energy Expert: Kevin Orchard, Power Marketing

Each month, we will feature a team member and the work they are doing to help Holocene mainstream clean energy.

Kevin Orchard has eight years’ experience expanding solar business initiatives and is a certified Energy Risk Professional. He currently resides in New Jersey. 

Q: What got you interested in renewable energy?

A: I got into the industry by chance.  While I was a junior in college I was working in real estate in Springfield, MA, which was owned by one of my professor’s twin brother. By dumb luck, we got approached by a private equity backed solar development company out of Darien, CT. I got put in charge of going out to find land for them to develop. In the process of identifying sites, I learned enough about the business to ultimately go work for the solar developer and have been involved in the industry ever since.

Q: What is your background, and what is your role at Holocene?

A: My background is in real estate and development, however, over the years I’ve transitioned into focusing more on project finance and integrating renewable energy generation into wholesale power markets. I’m consulting with Holocene to help manage its wholesale power marketing strategy in competitive energy markets.

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A: In my free time, I’m either lost in the woods fly fishing somewhere or, during the winter, riding snowmobiles. My favorite TV show is The Sopranos, favorite musician is Bruce Springsteen, favorite sports team is Boston Red Sox.
