Guzman Energy Announces Company Growth to Transform Power Markets
October 23, 2018
Seasoned General Counsel Robin Lunt to Play a Key Role in Guzman’s
Efforts to Lower Energy Prices in the Bilateral Markets to the West
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Guzman
Energy Group, a full-service energy company whose services include
providing wholesale power, energy trading and hedging services, today
announces the appointment of Robin Lunt as general counsel to lead the
legal and policy team. Lunt brings a decade of experience as an energy
attorney in both government and the private sector.
The announcement comes on the heels of the August announcement that
Guzman Energy secured $130 million in additional liquidity with capital
provided by Colorado-based energy investors, Vision Ridge Partners and
ZOMA Capital. Guzman Energy is a new type of energy model that is
helping transition an outdated energy economy in the West. As general
counsel, Lunt will help expand this effort to achieve lower rates and
price stability from renewable, sustainable energy for its consumers in
the West and beyond.
“The addition of Robin to lead our legal and policy team is a
significant step forward as we continue to empower communities in the
West via more cost effective and greener energy,” said Guzman Energy
President Chris Riley. “She brings a wealth of experience in both the
private and governmental/policy sectors and is poised to lead us toward
navigating a rapidly evolving renewable-energy landscape.”
Lunt has served in senior roles with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and the National Association of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners. She spent eight years practicing in Washington, D.C., in
the energy and utilities sector before relocating to Denver: first to
serve on the executive team of an early stage distributed energy
resource company; and then as an attorney at Wilkinson Barker Knauer
(WBK), an energy and telecommunications law firm. A member of the
Colorado, Washington, D.C., and California Bars, she will be based at
Guzman headquarters in Denver.
“Guzman Energy is dedicated to transforming the Western wholesale
markets and rural communities by reducing prices and paving the way for
more renewable and distributed energy resources,” said Lunt. “It’s
exciting to be in the game working to create the future of the energy
economy where affordability and environmental goals can both be
realized.”
Guzman Energy is set to transform the energy status quo. In February
2017, they announced a partnership with Kit Carson Electric Cooperative
(KCEC) to enable multiple northern New Mexico counties to achieve summer
solar energy independence by 2022. In doing so, Guzman Energy will save
30,000 KCEC co-op members $50 million to $70 million in the next 10
years. Additionally, this month Guzman Energy was named a finalist for
the 2018
S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards, often described as “the
Oscars of the energy industry.” The awards, which will be announced in
December, highlight corporate innovation, leadership and superior
performance in the energy industry.
