National Grid Ventures President Cordi O’Hara: Innovative Clean-Energy Champion, Officer of the Order of the British Empire & Amazing Leader

As the world continues to prioritize a cleaner and more energy efficient future, large-scale clean energy projects have taken center stage. But who is behind the policy and implementation of these types of projects?

Meet Cordi O’Hara, President of National Grid Ventures—the unregulated, innovation arm of National Grid—and the woman leading the charge for developing and operating large-scale clean energy projects like offshore wind, solar, onshore wind, and transmission in the US and electricity connectors in the UK.

Cordi sat down with hosts Dee Martin and George Felcyn to discuss her pathway to becoming the President of National Grid Ventures and how her continuous work contributes to groundbreaking National Grid projects—like linking England and Norway through the world’s largest subsea interconnectors (450 miles!) and supporting National Grid’s plan to go fossil free by 2050.
