Bill Nussey
- clean energy advocate
Serial CEO Bill Nussey has created thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in value throughout his career. Learning that the cost of solar and wind-generated energy was now competitive with fossil fuels led to an epiphany.
In 2016, Bill founded the Freeing Energy Project to accelerate the shift to cleaner and cheaper energy. His book, which outlines his findings following more than a year of research and interviews with top energy experts, was published to critical acclaim.
Bill is now turning his attention toward a small set of companies that will further the Freeing Energy mission.
Bill received a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University, worked as a venture capitalist with Greylock, and received his MBA from Harvard Business School.
- “A simple idea that can accelerate the shift to clean energy potentially decades sooner than the path we’re on now. This idea is called local energy. So, if the grid is like that old mainframe, then local energy is like a smartphone or a laptop: it’s cheaper, it’s smaller, and it’s a lot smarter.”
