Michael Madia has been appointed chief operating officer (COO) for Fishermen's Energy of New Jersey, a company that is working to develop a wind project off the East Coast of the U.S.
Madia has over 25 years of energy and finance experience, including over nine years as COO of Consolidated Edison Development Inc. Prior to this, he founded Culminant Energy Development, an energy and project development advisory firm focusing on renewable project development.
‘Fishermen's Energy is on the forefront in developing a new source of renewable energy for the United States, and initially for New Jersey,’ says Madia. ‘The principals of Fishermen's Energy formed the company to pioneer a paradigm whereby not only the environmental impacts of new structures offshore would be measured, but their real impact on commercial fishing would be planned for and those impacts mitigated.’
