ABOUT
Rogue Energy Ventures was created to help bridge the gap in the adoption of technologies in the Grid Edge space. The legacy model for centrally planned utility generation and distribution is changing and Rogue Energy Ventures is there to accelerate the transition to Distributed Generation resources that leverage cleaner energy resources to ensure reliable and resilient grids. Our team is comprised of expert employees and consultants who have worked for utilities, global energy companies, Independent Power Providers (IPP's), automotive engineers, and leading technology innovators.
