AiGent Accelerates AI-Powered Grid Revolution with Appointment of Pioneering CTO Bill Larkins

Larkins will lead the design and development of AiGent's AI technology platform while providing strategic guidance as an AiGent board director

HOUSTON, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AiGent, Inc., a developer of AI-driven distributed power plants (DPP), today announced that its board of directors has appointed Bill Larkins, a transformative technology, engineering, and business leader, to its board of directors and as the company's Chief Technology Officer. Larkins brings more than 30 years of experience both developing and leading the development of transformative technologies and businesses that harness the power of innovation to make lives better.

Larkins has a proven track record of applying his software, electrical engineering, and data science expertise to solve problems that have transformative impact at scale. Most relevant to AiGent, Larkins developed the first-of-its-kind, patented hardware and software platform for DPP industry pioneer, EnerNOC, Inc. that automated the dispatch of commercial and industrial distributed generation to deliver grid services for the first time. Larkins then went on to build Active Shock, a first-of-its-kind intelligent shock absorption technology, that was integrated into military and commercial applications in many of the harshest conditions in war fighting theatres abroad and domestic heavy duty industrial settings before returning to scale the EnerNOC software development team.

Stephanie Hendricks, CEO of AiGent, commented, "As Mark Twain famously said, 'There are basically two types of people: those who accomplish things and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first is less crowded.' Bill is atop the less crowded category, having accomplished a lot of amazing things. We're fortunate to be able to have one of the most innovative minds applied to the challenge of integrating the promises of AI to scaling DPPs."

"I'm excited to construct a brand new platform bringing to bear a modern, full-stack approach from deeply embedded systems to principles of cloud-based AI theory to help solve one of our nation's most pressing problems. With increasing imbalances between electricity supply and demand, increasingly complex energy assets, and advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, we will be unleashing the power of resources, at scale, that are in the ground, here and now, to ensure more affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity needed to power our economy," said Larkins. "Even more exciting is that I get to do it with people I trust, people who work hard and play hard, and who want to do well by doing good. We're building an amazing innovation team that is setting the standard for our industry."
