IRG has a focused senior management team with an average of 25 years
of deep energy industry experience and high level network of
contacts in power, gas, oil, renewables, and transportation,
transmission, pipelines and logistics for associated commodities. In
2007 we added top financial talent with strength in leasing and
power purchase agreements, and unique funding strategies. Our key
members have in-depth understanding of the industry necessary to
properly analyze investment opportunities and strategies, and to
evaluate the prospects and risks involved, and have managed large
portfolios of complex investments as well as operating companies in
the energy and finance sectors, which enables IRG to identify and
exploit potential value that is overlooked by others who rely on
third parties for expertise.
IRG has entered into a broad ranging Strategic Business Alliance with KeySpan National Grid, the second largest U.S. utility, with 8 million customers. IRG is aligned with affiliates that operate in the professional engineering services and O&M field (KSI). The KSI team has deep technical expertise in power, gas and renewables (500 engineers throughout USA). These skills are a valuable added resource in IRG's review of project opportunities as well as completing needed feasibility studies. This alliance includes:
- Joint development of renewable energy projects
- KSI to provide engineering, operations and maintenance support
