Soltage is a full service renewable energy company that develops, owns and operates Soltage Powerstations (solar photovoltaic electric generating facilities) at client sites across the U.S. Soltage is pleased to announce that George P.

Co-founder and CEO of Soltage, Jesse Grossman, explains, "We are very excited to have George become our new CFO, as he brings a broad level of expertise in structuring financial arrangements in the energy field, which is key to Soltage's growth. He closed over $15 billion in debt and equity issuances when he was V.P. and Treasurer of NRG Energy. He led negotiations for a $3 billion power plant in China when he was the V.P. of Entergy Power Group.

Bringing George on board -- especially after securing the financial backing from Tenaska Solar, a subsidiary of Tenaska Energy, one of the largest independent power producers in the U.S. -- is important to our business' growth." George Shaefer commented, "Soltage is a vibrant, growth-oriented renewable energy company that dovetails well with my most recent experience as CFO of two venture capital backed start-up companies: Mascoma Corporation of Boston and ASAlliances Biofuels, LLC of Dallas. I'm excited to help accelerate Soltage's growth beyond the east coast to further demonstrate its national presence."
