John was part of a group of utility experts who designed and delivered a seminar in Santiago, Chile on High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology and the context of transmission for renewable energy projects. Participants included individuals working in the utility industry, government representatives responsible for energy policy and planning, regulators, independent power producers, consultants, manufacturers, and academics. John presented and facilitated discussion on how HVDC technologies have relevance in regional planning particularly with renewable energy projects, how this opportunity might be assessed within the Chilean energy planning context, and what considerations (including interests of local civil society organizations) can be accommodated in the planning and development process.
He holds an MBA (Marketing/Finance), BA Economics (Hons).
