(Radnor, PA, April 22, 2010) – David Giordano, 41, formerly with FPL Energy and then Babcock & Brown North American Energy Group, has joined Community Energy, Inc. as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. During his time at Babcock & Brown, Mr. Giordano closed over $4 billion of wind transactions. At FPL Energy, David developed and acquired operating and development power assets, and was part of the team that completed the first bond offering on wind assets—an investment grade credit rating raising nearly $400 million of new capital to the renewable energy sector. David holds a Master’s in Public Administration from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School, and a B.A. from Dickinson College in Economics and Policy & Management Studies.
Community Energy is a leading renewable energy developer and marketer, and led the opening of renewable energy markets in the Eastern U.S., over the last decade.
“We have seen David’s talent at work on many projects over many years, and are excited to have him on the Community Energy team, particularly now as we jump back into the capital markets and expand project development. With solar projects surging forward and wind generation continuing to grow, David brings the development and finance leadership that is the key to delivering renewable energy projects at scale,” said Brent Alderfer, CEO of Community Energy, Inc.
