Founder, Generation 180, a non-profit committed to advancing the transition to clean energy and supporting a cultural shift in energy awareness through original, engaging content, digitally-enabled campaigns, and an empowered volunteer network.
Sandy is the Chairman of Apex Clean Energy, where he served as CEO from 2009-2016. Apex builds, owns and operates utility scale facilities.
In 2015, Apex led the US market for completion of new wind facilities with over 1 Gigawatt of installations. Since entering the renewable energy industry in 2000, his companies have developed over $4 billion of wind and solar facilities now operating around the country. He was founder and president of Greenlight Energy, a leading independent wind energy company that was acquired by BP in 2006.
Sandy was also the founder of Axio Power, a utility-scale solar developer acquired by SunEdison in 2011, and Columbia Power Technologies, a pioneer in wave energy technology. In 2014, Sandy was appointed to serve on the Virginia Energy Council by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
He has a BS in Commerce from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia.
