Linea Energy is excited to welcome Cooper R. as a Senior Associate of Development and Camden Knights as an Associate of Development! Cooper brings 5 years of experience in renewable energy - initially through college internships at the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute, American Clean Power and Pattern Energy. As a proud alumnus of Kenyon College, Cooper received a degree in Economics, focusing on the intersection of energy and environmental studies. Cooper began his career in D.G. solar before transitioning to utility-scale solar and storage projects, gaining extensive experience across the full project development cycle in regions from CAISO to PJM during his time at Intersect Power and CleanChoice Energy. A fun fact about Cooper is that he loves to cook, making intricate multi-course meals for holidays and often throws dinner parties for friends. Camden is a Chicago native and graduate of Dominican University, where he majored in Philosophy, Political Science, and Environmental Studies. Afterwards, he attended Vermont Law School. His interest in renewable energy and the environment sparked in high school and has guided his career, which includes 1.5 years at Abei Energy developing wind, solar, battery energy storage systems, and renewable gases like green hydrogen and biomethane in the MISO and WECC markets. Camden brings a blend of culinary passion and adventurous spirit to our team. He enjoys cooking, specializing in Italian cuisine—whether it’s crafting homemade pasta or enjoying a perfectly brewed espresso afterward. When he's not cooking, Camden stays active. He’s an avid swimmer and has explored 4 of the 5 Great Lakes. Welcome to the team, Cooper & Camden!

The Linea team had an amazing time in Nashville at the North American Energy Markets Association conference where there were fascinating discussions about data center load growth, talks about the latest in analytics and buzz about the future of renewable energy.
