I’ve experienced firsthand how moving decisively to address structural infrastructure constraints can create the foundation for lasting value. Joulent has the opportunity to capitalize on a unique moment in American innovation, and I’m looking forward to helping build its next chapter.”

“Joulent has a unique platform designed to deliver execution certainty with the financial discipline and operational excellence customers require,” said Michael Wortley. “I’m thrilled to begin working alongside this distinguished team as we continue scaling the business and unlocking opportunity ahead.”

Joulent was founded to address key constraints facing reliable power access for U.S. reindustrialization.
