Ziesler came to AWS Truepower after working as Senior Vice President at Wind Capital Group, a wind developer and operator that sold off all assets in early 2015. While at Wind Capital, Ziesler oversaw commercial operations of utility-scale wind farms, Lost Creek and Post Rock. Prior to this he ran their meteorological and wind analysis group. Ziesler also worked as Wind Resource Manager for Shell Energy in Amsterdam and Houston. During his six year tenure he managed all aspects of their wind resource program and was responsible for financeable energy reports for 1,400 MW of onshore and offshore projects in Europe and North America. While at both firms, Ziesler utilized the consulting services of AWS Truepower.
"I'm very excited to be offered the opportunity to lead the Consulting Services team at this important juncture in the company's development," commented Ziesler. "Consulting Services has historically been the bedrock of the company, but with AWS Truepower widening its portfolio of services and products I'm looking forward to leading the team during this new growth era."
Ziesler was program co-chair of the AWEA Resource Assessment Workshops in Seattle 2011 and Pittsburgh 2012, and chaired the Finance Session at the 2013 workshop in Las Vegas. He holds an MA in Physics from Oxford University and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Aston University.
