Michael Discenza has been working as our CFO since May and we are so excited to officially welcome him to the team! Our CEO, Sarah Slusser said it best: “He has already shown that his strong finance experience in infrastructure operating companies, including renewable energy, will be an asset as we continue to grow.” https://lnkd.in/eB-mrutD

Each year we take time today, Veterans Day, to publicly recognize and thank the men and women who have served our country and are now part of the Cypress Creek team. This year we talked with our Cypress Creek Veterans affinity group and have a message to share from one of our team to mark the holiday: Thank you for your service will be shared with Veteran’s as we celebrate their service and sacrifice to our country.?However, the quiet understanding among Veterans is our thankfulness to have served.?This thankfulness stems from the values, lessons, and life-long comradery originating from this service.?In an age of selfishness and craving for individual attention, the veteran experience is marked with selflessness – the superiority of the team over the individual.?In an era of vitriol and divide, trust – demonstrated by an individual’s character, competence, and commitment – unites a team regardless of race, gender, or political views.?Finally, the veteran experience is focused on the principles of Mission First and People Always.?“There is no substitute for victory” is the commitment veterans make to persevere and win while ensuring they protect and care for their teammates. Thank you to the veterans who answered the call and those Cypress Creek team members who continue to serve in the National Guard or Military Reserves. Pictured below are a just a handful of the veterans we are honored to work alongside each day at Cypress Creek Renewables: David Hunt, Field Service Technician, served in the US Army, Brian Case, Executive Vice President, Cypress Creek Solutions, served in the US Army, Veronica Tippie, NERC Operations & Planning Analyst, served in the US Navy, Tim Fredericksen, Senior Director, Monitoring Ops & Performance, served in the US Navy, Dylan Bleimeyer, Information Technology Specialist, served in the US Air Force, Patty Allison, Information Technology Senior Specialist, served in the US Marine Corps, Derek Petersen, Senior Asset Manager, served in the US Navy, Sam Woo, Senior Analyst, served in the US Marine Corps, Dustin Bridges, Field Service Technician, served in the US Marine Corps, John Shannon, Operations Engineer, served in the US Navy.

An Update: After serving as Interim CFO since May, I am excited to be joining Cypress Creek Renewables as CFO. I am enjoying my move back into the renewable energy space, and I’m looking forward to supporting Cypress Creek’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for utility-scale solar and battery storage projects. Very happy to be part of the Cypress Creek team

We had such a wonderful time hosting this event in Pennsylvania and are even more excited to be one step closer to bringing this project online in the commonwealth!

Last week we had the privilege of hosting a project preview of Erie Solar, a 24MW site just outside of Erie, Pennsylvania which is slated to come online later this year. Once complete the project will produce enough clean energy to power almost 3,000 Pennsylvania homes and will contribute more than $2.3M in tax revenue to Erie County over the project's expected 40-year life. It was an honor to host Pennsylvania State Senator Dan Laughlin, several local leaders and our landowner Mark Troyer as well as a few of our project partners American Clean Power Association (ACP), Maxeon Solar Technologies, JST Power Equipment, Logistics Plus Inc., and Babcock & Wilcox. Thank you all for joining us and for helping us build a more sustainable future, one project at a time! https://lnkd.in/ead5SSN8

Last Friday we had the great opportunity to attend the preview event of Erie County's newest solar facility. We joined Pennsylvania State Senator Dan Laughlin and various other technology suppliers to tour the 172 acre, 24MW solar farm. The site contains more than 44,000 solar modules and is powered by six (6) #JSTPower transformers. Thank you to to project mangers Cypress Creek Renewables and landowners, Troyer Growers, for hosting this fantastic event!
