The U.S. Energy Storage Association (ESA) unveiled its 2020-2021 executive committee officers last week, along with a newcomer to its board, Jeff Bishop, co-founder and CEO of Key Capture Energy.
For the trade association, elections are a yearly measure, resulting in a changing board of directors that selected new officers. In this case, the chosen officers include Board Chair John Hewa of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Immediate Past Chair Troy Miller of GE Renewable Energy, Vice Chair Kiran Kumaraswamy of Fluence, Treasurer Dr. Peter Muhoro of National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, with Jacqueline DeRosa of Ameresco rounding out the appointments as secretary.
Bishop, however, is the newest face to the board, appointed by Hewa to fill a vacancy that had opened.
“We extend our thanks and gratitude to our board officers as they continue in their role of guiding and supporting the organization during this pivotal time,” ESA CEO Kelly Speakes-Backman said. “We are equally excited to welcome our newly elected board member, Jeff Bishop. While we face challenges across our communities, our organization can proudly say that we have the best minds collaborating on determining the most viable solutions to ensure a more resilient, efficient, sustainable, and affordable grid.”
Bishop was the founder of Key Capture back in 2016. The company has since expanded in the market of building large-scale energy storage projects and taken a place among ESA’s Leadership Circle.
In their roles, Bishop, along with his fellow board members and officers, will work to accelerate the use of energy storage systems throughout the United States.
