Today's guest is John Lochner, VP of Innovation at NYSERDA. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is a government agency focused on clean energy and energy innovation. With a team of around 350 people, it supports clean solutions through catalytic capital and public policies. Dedicating his career to energy for the last decade, John worked at Credit Suisse in renewable energy, sold a cleantech startup, and spent several years at environmental non-profits. He now serves as the VP of Innovation at NYSERDA. His team focuses on research and development and funds a portfolio of climate startups in New York. They are working with an $800M tenure fund to finance their projects and programs. John oversees this fund and is involved in a handful of accelerators in the greater New York community. NYSERDA provides John the opportunity to match his private-sector knowledge with government support to enable a clean and just energy transition. In this episode, John and I explore what led him to focus on energy, his role on the innovation team, and NYSERDA's charter. He also explains where he sees the biggest levers for change, what role the government should play in the energy transition, and why New York state is a pioneer in this space.
