Harold N. Kamine, P.E.
CO-FOUNDER
A career spanning 40 years, Hal is a titan in building, owning and operating over $4B of infrastructure throughout industries. His first projects stemmed from his father’s plumbing business as he then developed, built, and owned seven unregulated non-utility power generation projects located in New York and New Jersey between 1982 and 2000. These projects totaled 600 megawatts and represented a capital investment of more than $800 million. Hal then got into the telecom space following the de-regulation. Here he built the largest private held telecom platform across 40 cities, deploying over $2.3B and growing to over $600m in revenue and 1,500 employees. Hal then saw around the corner again, and started a large scale utility solar development company in 2010, building, owning and operated over 125MW which was sold in 2016. Since then, he has lead $100M’s of infrastructure development efforts in upcycling and advanced technologies. His engineering mindset both financially and technically has pioneered industries and change the world we live in at scale.
