Glen E. Smith, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder - Contact Mr. Smith
Glen E. Smith is President, CEO and co-founder of ECS. He has been intensely involved in the energy arena since the beginning of electricity deregulation several years ago. After practicing law for several years, Mr. Smith initially began in the energy field by working for several years at a large New York State ESCo (energy supply company), ultimately becoming a Vice President of the company. His multiple responsibilities included purchasing electricity supply around-the-clock, by the hour, from multiple electricity supply sources, including NYISO, PJM Interconnection, and bilateral sources. In general, Mr. Smith handled all aspects of electricity supply, including installed capacity, operating reserve, the NYS transmission grid, etc., and purchased the power used by the company's several thousand customers across New York State.
Over the past few years, Mr. Smith has been intricately involved with the more detailed concepts of electricity supply and the effects and necessary interplay of demand response programs relative to the stability of that supply, including installed capacity and other ancillary products. Mr. Smith has additional extensive experience related to analysis of utility, CalISO and NYISO tariffs, rules & regulations. He has written numerous white papers and presented both nationally & internationally on the topics of demand response and electric grid stability.
Mr. Smith holds Degrees in Political Science, International Economics & Business Administration, graduating with honors; and a Juris Doctorate.
Stephen P. Lynch, Principal and Co-Founder - Contact Mr. Lynch
Stephen Lynch is co-founder of ECS and a principal in the company. He has been involved in the field of electric energy management since he attained his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University. After receiving his degree, Mr. Lynch was employed by General Dynamics in the capacity of power systems engineer relative to nuclear power systems. He then accepted a Senior Management position with an extremely electric energy-intensive operation and the world's largest manufacturer of cubic zirconia. In that position, Mr. Lynch singularly managed all energy-related issues at the facility, including negotiations and discussions with multiple electric utilities, managing the company's participation in demand response and energy conservation programs, and procuring power allocations from the New York Power Authority for the company. Additionally, Mr. Lynch has served on the Board of Directors for the Manufacturer's Association of Niagara County.
Since deregulation of the electricity markets, Mr. Lynch has become even more involved with facility power management, interval metering to enable that facility management, as well as design, implementation, and administration of demand response and energy conservation programs. He has presented at multiple venues on the topics of lighting, energy efficiencies, metering and demand response.
At ECS, Mr. Lynch oversees all technical aspects of the programs, including interval metering of facilities, determining load profiles and power factors, and general consultation to participants as to how their facility is comprised from an energy standpoint so that they can more effectively curtail electric usage when needed. With Mr. Smith, he also oversees company operations.
