Russ Bates's Linkedin Analytics

I'm the Founder of NXTGEN Clean Energy Solutions, the One Stop Shop for Solar, Electric Vehicle Charging, and Battery Storage projects. NXTGEN was born of my passion for clean energy technologies and how they can help save money, improve the economy, and improve the environment. I love working with small businesses and showing how clean energy can vastly reduce costs and that these technologies are not only for big corporations. I transitioned from a long career in the fossil fuel power generation industry to the clean energy sector. From growing up on property that was once a coal mine to working as a pre-apprentice in a coal fired power plant to being the Vice President of a company who build a 750MW combined cycle facility, I've seen it all in the fossil fuel power gen sector. Clean energy and bringing this technology to businesses, municipalities, and the general public is my purpose. What skills do I have? Well, I'm an experienced executive who is passionate about all aspects of business, strategy, and building long term relationships. I'm skilled in management of P&L centers, including project estimation, proposals, project management, project controls, subcontract management, and supply chain management. I am also a believer in one team where everyone contributes to achieve the common goal and strives to bring success to the organization. I'm also an MBA candidate enrolled in the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program.
