This is truly some massive news that has seemingly slipped through the local media cracks.
The proverbial “dream team” of Pittsburgh energy has just been formed. The potential for great things to happen around energy innovation is quite high as the chief executive officers of Pittsburgh-headquartered Plextronics, Westinghouse, Allegheny Energy, EQT, CONSOL Energy and BPL Global founded the United States Center for Energy Leadership (USCEL). The founding members of the Center are:
- Andy Hannah, CEO of Plextronics
- Aris Candris, CEO of Westinghouse
- Paul Evanson, CEO of Allegheny Energy
- Murry Gerber, CEO of EQT
- J. Brett Harvey, CEO of CONSOL Energy
- Keith Schaefer, CEO of BPL Global
According to Plextronics’ Andy Hannah, who was a catalyst for the formation of USCEL, the mission of the group is to establish a stable energy environment for the United States that includes energy independence, stable energy pricing and a portfolio approach to meeting increasing energy needs. USCEL will also advocate for new and innovative technological developments that will impact all of these areas. The group will also work to address specific governmental policy, investment and technology issues that have direct bearing on the energy industry.
