Operating and maintaining a fleet of more than 100 clean energy facilities requires a dedicated team working diligently behind the scenes so Invenergy can continue delivering clean energy where it’s needed. That’s where our Operations Engineering team comes in.  

Andrew Nigro and Matt Conwell, Invenergy Vice Presidents, Operations Engineering, oversee this robust team which comprises everyone from electrical and mechanical engineers to data analysis experts and control room operators. Despite the nuanced yet comprehensive responsibilities of this team, Nigro says their work shares one simple goal: ensuring the safety, reliability, and high performance of Invenergy Services’ operating fleet.  

Below, Conwell and Nigro talk more about what their team does, what it’s like working at Invenergy and why they enjoy working in the clean energy industry. 

 You two oversee different groups within the Operations Engineering team. Tell us more about the differences between your groups. 

 I lead three groups within this team: Electrical Engineering, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Control Room Operations. The Electrical Engineering team has a wide range of responsibilities, including maintaining wind and solar assets, high-voltage equipment, batteries, and more.  

Our SCADA team has four main responsibilities: field data collection, OEM SCADA, instrumentation and controls, and generation management systems.  

And, lastly, the Control Center is the heart of our operations, so this team is doing anything from troubleshooting issues with turbines, resetting turbines and inverters, communicating with transmission authorities and ensuring compliance with state and regulatory agencies. 

I oversee three teams as well. The first is our Mechanical Engineering group. That group includes the subject matter experts on the componentry of our assets, from gearboxes and bearings experts to lubrication and generator and blade experts.  

Next is the Availability Engineering team, whom we refer to as the technical generalists. While the members of our Mechanical Engineering group are experts on specific components across our fleet, the Availability Engineering team members are the Jacks and Jills of all trades.  

Then my third group is the Performance Analytics team, which is responsible for tracking and analyzing any of the data that’s associated with our assets. 

 With all of that happening every day, what do you each find most interesting about working at Invenergy? 

I like that we’re able to see the full lifecycle of a project, all the way from construction until a project is decommissioned. And because of the size and scope of our fleet, we’re addressing a wide range of problems on a day-to-day basis. So there are always interesting challenges to solve, and as an engineer, I find that appealing. 

 Because Invenergy has so many different technologies within our clean energy portfolio, it gives everyone an opportunity to learn something new. Say someone works on wind assets for a few years, but then decides they’re interested in solar or energy storage, they’re able to switch. There are so many opportunities to work on different things at Invenergy. We also give individuals a lot of opportunities to make decisions and find the right path forward for the company. 

 Yeah, Invenergy is definitely a collaborative organization. I’ve had people tell me that it’s refreshing how much the engineering team works with other departments rather than being siloed away. 

 For anyone who is thinking about transitioning to a career in the clean energy industry, what can they expect?  

 Renewables is a tight-knit industry. The space is growing so quickly that there’s room for everyone to find their niche and become an expert in their field in a way that not only supports Invenergy, but the industry as a whole. We work quite a bit with trade groups, the National Lab system, and other organizations that bring many companies together to solve industry-wide issues. 

When we go to a conference or a trade show, people are very open about discussing their challenges. We’re all trying to succeed, and it’s nice to see that it’s not necessarily a me-versus-you environment. 

Do you have any advice for someone interested in joining Invenergy’s Operations Engineering team? 

The best advice I could give is to just apply for the job you’re interested in. We have people on our team with a wide variety of backgrounds, people from different countries or people who didn’t start their careers as engineers. I wouldn’t get hung up on not feeling qualified for a position. I think the traits we look for in someone are confidence, the ability to learn, somebody who’s driven to grow and ask questions, and someone who’s interested in the clean energy industry. It’s incredibly important to get out in the field to see what our technicians do on a day-to-day basis and to be someone who wants to get hands-on experience to learn.

A Conversation with Invenergy Services' Operations Engineering Team

The work we do at Invenergy Services is guided by our “owner’s mindset,” a simple but important principle that ensures the longevity of any project we operate. 

In essence, an owner’s mindset means we apply the same attention and expertise to a customer’s project as we do our own. The goal is to maximize production and prolong equipment life at projects of every size, and we’re able to do this thanks to a sincere pride in the work we do as individuals and as a team. 

We operate with an owner’s mindset because we are owners, with 12,000 MW across four sustainable technologies, seven ISO markets, and sites in Europe and North and South America. Our success is built on knowledge that comes from two decades of experience and innovation, and we take pride in offering customers the same level of care that has driven our success. 

What sets Invenergy Services’ approach apart?

 Our owner’s mindset defines how we think about the projects we operate and the practical work that goes into keeping them up and running. It’s as simple as asking ourselves, “What can we do to make sure it is operating the best it can?” 

No two sustainable energy projects are alike, which is why paying careful attention to the specific needs of each project – from the health of turbine components to local environmental considerations - is critical to its success. An owner’s mindset means we employ this high level of scrutiny and care in everything we do, and we leverage our wide range of experiences and expertise to develop long-term strategies tailored to each plant. 

We deliver what’s best for our customers with the same tools and expertise we deploy at our own sites: 

Whether you’re looking for an Energy Manager, O&M or Balance of Plant (BOP) service provider, or Asset Manager, we are flexible and comprehensive in our approach and can work together to customize the best solution for you. Invenergy Services’ owner’s mindset sets us apart, and we’re excited to show you what a difference this approach can make.

An Introduction to Invenergy Services’ Owner’s Mindset

News-fallback-1201x1201.png

Invenergy Services’ site technicians keep an important principle in mind while on the job high up in a wind turbine or in the far corner of a solar field: ‘R-squared,’ or ‘risk and working remotely,’ two factors that emphasize why safety is a principle at every site Invenergy Services operates and a pillar of company culture.

We want to keep our colleagues healthy and safe, and our rigorous approach to safety can translate to more productive sites for customers and operators.

“From a safety standpoint, you know what you’re going to get – Invenergy technicians are going to be trained up and doing their job safely,” says Invenergy’s Vice President, Environmental Health and Safety Len Tully. “We know we can put our technicians up against anyone in the business when it comes to safety.”

In 2019, we brought more of our instruction in-house to provide technicians with training specific to our equipment and philosophy. We provide techs with 70 hours of instruction each year and cover working at heights, first aid, and many other aspects of the job they do each day. We also host numerous onsite safety drills throughout the year, including quarterly crisis rehearsals involving local emergency responders and life-flight helicopters.

A program of proactive preventative maintenance and equipment monitoring complements our rigorous safety culture by minimizing the climbing and repairs technicians need to do. Fleetwide near-miss and incident reporting generates useful observations from the field that refine how we train and work.

“Managers recognize that employees are always watching them and what they’re doing and how they handle different situations. The way a manager reacts is the example and will affect how techs approach site safety,” Len says. “But it’s not just the safety manager who sets the tone and the culture – it’s the employee engagement and participation that’s made a difference.”

Our emphasis on safety also resonates with the communities where we operate since many of our technicians are hired from the surrounding communities. “Word spreads quickly on your reputation. When you can stand up for your safety culture against the neighboring wind site employer or other companies in the area, it can be the difference in getting a candidate to sign up with Invenergy." As Len points out, every employee is empowered to stop work at any time if they have a safety concern.

“The full support that we get from the top down when it comes to safety is very impressive,” he says. “I’ve been in the safety business a long time, and this is one of the few companies where our senior leaders have been fully supportive of everything we want to do around safety.”

Invenergy Services’ Approach to Safety Benefits Customers

Did you know Brazil has become the sixth-largest wind producer in the world? The country currently boasts approximately 20 GW of wind generation, providing 12 percent of its annual energy production and enough electricity for almost 29 million homes. The country aims to double its wind capacity by 2030, and Invenergy Services will be right there to help this transition along. 

In March 2022, Invenergy Services acquired Alísios, a Brazilian company specializing in wind farm operations and maintenance work. The Brazil team provides major component replacement, performance analytics, and O&M contracts for wind farms across Brazil and offers an unparalleled level of service to Brazil’s growing renewable industry.  

The two teams’ areas of expertise – Gamesa and GE turbines – are bolstered by Invenergy Services’ engineering and analytics capabilities, which help predict equipment issues to a degree not previously available to customers outside of expensive OEM contracts. 

“The opportunity is unique because of the size of Invenergy Services’ backing – other companies are smaller with limited capacity,” says Rodolfo Scheeffer, Director, Asset Management and Finance who is the country manager for Invenergy Services’ work in Brazil. 

Invenergy Services also offers our customers an approach driven by our ‘owner’s mindset,’ which means we treat each customer’s project as we do our own. Invenergy Services currently maintains more than 17 GW of projects across four technologies, and this experience combined with the local staff ensures maximum clean energy production and prolonged equipment life regardless of who owns the project.  

“We have a very good group of well-trained technicians and a culture committed to safety,” Scheeffer says. “Our technical and safety standards are very aligned with Invenergy Services’ – and we work and operate like a family.”  

Brazil’s consistent wind resources have helped build a robust clean energy economy that also sees more than 65 percent of the country’s power coming from renewable hydroelectric sources. Offshore wind is poised to play a large role in Brazil’s energy future as well, with the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) identified more than 80 GW of offshore wind power generation projects currently in the licensing process. 

“The plan is for Invenergy Services to have three times more technicians in Brazil by 2026 as we grow the O&M business,” Scheeffer says. “We’ve already done some work in Uruguay – we’re ready to support South America.” 

It’s never too early to think big for the future, and Invenergy Services is excited to continue doing what they do best in Brazil – providing customers with expert service and building a more sustainable world along the way. 

Invenergy Services operates with an owner’s mindset because we are owners. Our success is built on two decades of experience and innovation, and we take pride in offering customers the same level of care that has driven our own success – no matter where in the world they are.

Michael Polsky, Founder and CEO of Invenergy

, has been named a 2022 Ripple of Hope Award laureate. Polsky will be honored alongside fellow laureates 

, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Siris; 

, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of America.

The Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award has honored exemplary leaders across government, business, advocacy, and entertainment who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social change and worked to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights. At the helm of the largest private renewable energy company in North America, Polsky was selected in recognition of his ongoing efforts to accelerate the clean energy transition.

“My father was a strong believer in the importance of stewardship and protecting our environment for the generations to come,” said Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. “Michael’s work is a tangible representation of that mission, providing the framework we need to build a more sustainable future.”

Driven by Polsky’s entrepreneurial vision, Invenergy has led the clean energy revolution, expanding from thermal generation to wind and solar, and is now paving the way for innovative technologies including energy storage, offshore wind, transmission, and clean water. In 2022, the company’s 2,000 employees celebrated 30-gigawatts of clean energy projects developed across 30 U.S. states and four continents since Invenergy's inception 21 years ago. 

“Robert F. Kennedy’s vision of a better world spanned all areas and industries – he understood that advancing human rights and social justice requires investment in everything from education to energy and the environment,” said Polsky. “I’m honored to receive this award and look forward to growing Invenergy’s impact as we fulfill our mission as innovators building a sustainable world.”

Shaped by Polsky’s philanthropic values, Invenergy invests heavily in project communities through an impact program. His humble roots ignited a commitment by him and his family to giving back to many causes including education, entrepreneurship, climate and sustainability, healthcare, women’s rights, immigration, veterans, and arts and culture. Most recently, Polsky’s philanthropic efforts have been focused on his native Ukraine to ensure the well-being of Ukraine’s people, the nation’s victory, and ultimate reconstruction.  

The Ripple of Hope Award is inspired by Robert F. Kennedy’s most famous speech, the 1966 Day of Affirmation address he gave in South Africa at the height of apartheid: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples to build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Previous winners of the Ripple of Hope Award include Stacey Abrams, former Vice President Joe Biden, Bono, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, Tim Cook, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Amanda Gorman, Vice President Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Colin Kaepernick, late Congressman John Lewis, former President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Desmond Tutu.

Invenergy is the first privately held energy company to achieve this milestone.

“Two decades ago, we set out to change the landscape of the energy industry and we have continued to lead the transition by combining deep technical expertise, strong partnerships, and a dedicated team with a clear vision,” said Michael Polsky, Invenergy Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve achieved what once seemed impossible, and we are proud to have reached this milestone and of all it means for our legacy as innovators building a sustainable world.”

Transitioning to clean and renewable energy is a boon to the economy, a path to real energy security, and one solution to the mounting global climate crisis. The energy transition will continue to be led by innovators like Invenergy that are equipped to modernize America’s electric grid, curb global carbon emissions, and maintain a reliable, clean, and affordable energy supply to meet the power demands for generations to come.

Invenergy’s 30+ GW portfolio is uniquely comprised of nearly 200 contracted, constructed, and operating clean energy projects spread across four continents. These projects include some of the world's largest solar and wind farms, state-of-the-art thermal generation facilities, advanced energy storage, and transmission infrastructure.

Invenergy Services, an Invenergy subsidiary, provides full project life cycle services, including operations and maintenance for its projects and for third parties.

Invenergy Services operates 16 GW across diverse technologies and markets across 92 projects.

Invenergy has raised more than $50 billion of private capital to support its unparalleled growth. In addition to its robust project portfolio, the company has recently launched an offshore wind platform and is developing several inter-regional transmission projects. In early 2022, Reactivate, a community solar joint venture was announced. Invenergy is the anchor investor in Energize Ventures, an investment manager focused on digitizing the energy industry.

“We’ve pushed the boundaries of clean and renewable energy and leveraged decades of development, financing, and engineering experience to achieve this historic milestone,” said Jim Murphy, Invenergy President and Corporate Business Leader. “We’ve taken educated risks where others have held back, and over the last two decades our efforts, and those of our strategic partners, have accelerated the transition to a cleaner energy economy in ways no one could have imagined. As we look to the next 20 years, we see an unprecedented level of attention, focus, and investment in this space.”

Invenergy’s road to 30+ GW is paved with some of the largest, most efficient, and trailblazing clean energy projects to come online over the last two decades.

Some of the most notable achievements include:

Invenergy’s clean energy portfolio has generated positive impacts beyond project footprints, offsetting 182 million tons of carbon dioxide and creating more than 50,000 clean energy jobs over the last 20 years. The company is expected to surpass 2,000 employees in 2022. Invenergy also makes a lasting impact through more than $250 million invested annually in the communities where Invenergy operates.

Invenergy drives innovation in energy. Invenergy and its affiliated companies develop, own, and operate large-scale renewable and other clean energy generation and storage facilities in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Invenergy's home office is located in Chicago, and it has regional development offices in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Japan, Poland, and Scotland.

Invenergy and its affiliated companies have successfully developed more than 30,000 megawatts of projects that are in operation, construction, or contracted, including wind, solar, transmission infrastructure and natural gas power generation and advanced energy storage projects.
