Christopher Smith

I'm an energy project developer for the electricians union. I have over $10 billion of deployed infrastructure projects under my belt including utility-scale solar, battery systems, microgrids, off-grid buildings, industrial projects, core ev charging infrastructure, substation service upgrades, waste water treatment plants etc. I presently run a company that has repurposed coal-era railroad logistics to instead haul batteries over the freight railroad network. This grid-ready electricity is moved on existing railroads instead of on congested transmission lines. These new electricity distribution corridors provide new energy generation opportunities and immediately begin to alleviate the growing energy crisis from electrification and the greater AI boom. I'm also a musician in San Francisco punk revival band, an ex semi-professional and D1 athlete. I split my time between Sonoma on a 250 acre ranch where I enjoy farming, hiking and the joys of a bucolic setting. I also have a place in San Francisco for city life, career and professional network.
