Deepwater Wind Expands Team with Hiring of Senior Vice President of Market Development

Deepwater Wind announced today that it has named Tim Daniels, a veteran renewable-energy policy and power market expert, as the company’s Senior Vice President of Market Development.

Daniels brings considerable expertise to Deepwater Wind’s development team in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Daniels will lead market-development efforts in those two states, where Deepwater Wind is developing offshore wind farms that include the company’s proposed 1,000-megawatt Garden State Offshore Energy project (developed in partnership with PSEG Global) off the southeastern New Jersey shore, and the 1,000-megawatt Hudson Canyon project that is designed to serve customers in New York City and Long Island via a submarine cable transmission network. Daniels will also lead power-marketing efforts in Connecticut.

“Tim brings a wealth of policy and market experience to our team and strengthens our unique leadership position in the tri-state area,” said Deepwater Wind Chief Executive Officer William M. Moore. “His hiring further demonstrates Deepwater Wind’s focus on pursuing the promising New York, New Jersey and Connecticut renewable-energy markets.”

“I’m thrilled to join Deepwater Wind, a company that’s helping lead the national push toward securing clean, alternative energy sources,” Daniels said. “I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to marshal Deepwater’s efforts in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, states with ambitious renewable-energy goals and a demonstrated need for new clean energy sources that are local, cost-effective, and scalable. In this region, offshore wind is the only resource that meets all of these criteria.”

Before joining Deepwater Wind, Daniels served as Vice President of Energy Policy for Constellation Energy Group, where he represented the company’s wholesale and retail commodity businesses and its nuclear and renewable development groups in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and New England. Prior to that, Daniels managed the implementation of New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s 2004 energy policy at the New York City Economic Development Corporation.

Daniels also previously held senior-level positions at several Northeastern alternative-energy development companies. Prior to that, as Legislative Director of the Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition and the Congressional Task Force on Manufacturing, Daniels actively participated in early electric-industry restructuring and emission cap and trade debates in the U.S. Congress from 1998-2001.

Daniels earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Emory University and a Master of Science degree in environmental sciences and policy from Johns Hopkins University. He has served on a number of notable boards and advisory groups, including the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s System Benefits Charge Advisory Group; the Business Council of New York’s energy committee; the New York Building Congress’ energy committee; and as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Alliance for Clean Energy New York, the state’s leading clean energy trade association.

Deepwater Wind is actively planning offshore wind projects to serve multiple East Coast markets located 15 to 20 miles offshore, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. For its project serving New Jersey, Deepwater Wind has formed Garden State Offshore Energy in partnership with PSEG Global, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG (NYSE: PEG).

The Block Island Wind Farm, one of two Rhode Island offshore wind farms being developed by Deepwater Wind, is on target to become the nation’s first offshore wind farm. The company’s 1,000-megawatt Deepwater Wind Energy Center, located off the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, would be the nation’s first regional offshore wind farm, capable of serving multiple markets.
