“Invenergy works to solve the energy challenges that face our communities and we are proud to work with Hydro-Québec, Anbaric and National Grid on this exciting opportunity in New England,” said Invenergy’s Vice President of Development, Kevin Parzyck. “Combining wind generation with firming hydro will positively transform energy supply in the region.”
“Our collaborative effort advances New England’s transition to clean energy,” said Edward Krapels, CEO of Anbaric. “We believe that our combined track record of success will prove to be a clear differentiator as we submit our response to the Clean Energy Request for Proposals from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island,” Krapels added.
