Hugo Mena
Director

Chief Growth Officer
Electric Power Engineers

As an advocate for the energy transition and a reliable, resilient, and affordable grid, I am deeply committed to the Alliance’s mission of modernizing and enhancing the electric grid’s resilience, security, and efficiency.

My professional background includes relevant experience with over 15 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, where I have worked on various initiatives related to integrating new technologies, renewable energy integration, and technical requirements development. This experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of our grid’s challenges and opportunities as we move towards a more sustainable, reliable, affordable energy future.

I believe that my strong background in electrical engineering with a focus on power systems and power electronics, my experience in renewable energy and energy storage integration, and grid compliance with regulations and NERC standards will be a valuable asset to the GridWise Alliance. I would like the opportunity to use my experience to contribute to the Board’s efforts and support GridWise in accelerating the deployment of smart grid technologies, advocating for policies that support grid modernization, and fostering public-private partnerships to drive innovation in the energy sector.

Serving on the Board is a privilege, and I am eager to collaborate with other members to advance the Alliance’s vision of a robust and resilient electric grid.
