innogy Consulting Appoints Former Rhode Island Public Utilities Administrator, Macky McCleary as Partner for U.S. Operations
innogy Consulting, a leading global energy-focused management consulting
firm, has announced the appointment of Macky McCleary, former
Administrator for Rhode Island’s Division of Public Utilities, as a new
partner for its U.S. subsidiary based in Boston, MA.
Dr. Klaus Grellmann, Managing Director of innogy Consulting said of
McCleary’s addition to the firm; “Energy markets around the world are
undergoing a stunning transformation, and the United States is a central
driver in that change. As we set out to provide guidance to our clients
on how to navigate the future of power delivery, Macky’s deep experience
as a regulator, entrepreneur and agent of change will help strengthen
our already impressive offering in the U.S. We are very pleased to
welcome him.”
“Our electricity system is going through a period of dramatic change.
Rapid increases in renewable penetration have been driven by a
combination of rapidly falling renewables prices and increasing
consensus around carbon policy,” said Mr. McCleary. “As a result, the
demands on utilities are rapidly evolving. These changes are both a
threat to the existing business model and an enormous opportunity. As
utilities and regulators attempt to adapt to the rapidly changing
environment, they will need reliable, strategic, transactional and
regulatory support to achieve their goals. I’m very excited to join
innogy Consulting and leverage two decades of industry experience to
provide that support. We can help.”
Prior to joining innogy Consulting, McCleary was appointed as
Administrator of the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission by
Governor Raimondo. While serving the people of Rhode Island, McCleary
oversaw the overhaul of the state’s electricity grid to integrate high
levels of intermittent renewable energy. He was also part of the team
that led the state’s landmark 2018 initiative to install over 400MW of
clean energy to help meet the state’s goal of 1000MW by 2020. McCleary
also served as Deputy Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of
Energy, where he led the state’s efforts to transform its waste disposal
and recycling policies, and the cleanup of the Housatonic River. Prior
to his work in public service, McCleary worked with McKinsey & Company
where he focused on carbon neutral and sustainability clients and also
founded EmPower Solar, a successful and still growing rooftop solar
company based in New York.
