Nova Clean Energy announced the appointment of Dylan Reeves as Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations. Reeves joins Nova from its controlling shareholder Bluestar Energy Capital where he has played a central role in BEC’s rapid growth as a member of the founding team, including its entry into the Australian market and the formation and growth of Nova Clean Energy. In his new role, Reeves will lead Nova’s M&A as well as procurement, construction, and asset management functions.
Reeves joined BEC from its inception in March 2022 from GE Renewable Energy. And at GE, Reeves was responsible for global sales, commercial operations along with product development for the renewables aftermarket business. In this role Reeves worked with the BEC team (then the management team of Lincoln Clean Energy and later Orsted) on the delivery of over 3.5 GWs of wind power in the US market. Before GE, Reeves served as Cavalry Officer in the US Army and is a graduate of the United States Military Academy.
KEY QUOTES:
“Dylan’s move to the Nova business underlines the rapid growth ahead for our most important business. We see two trends in US renewables right now, one is a big increase in project level M&A opportunities and two is an increasing market demand for wind power. Nova is well positioned on both fronts and given Dylan’s years of experience in the US market and wind in particular, this is a natural evolution of the team.”
– Neil O’Donovan, President of BEC
“Having worked for some time with Dylan, both here at Nova and as a key partner in our wind power business at Orsted, I am delighted to have him join the team full time. 2024 is a year of acceleration for Nova, with a pipeline of over 5 GW and growing fast and with multiple projects heading towards FID in the next 12-18 months, now is the perfect time to add management depth.”
– Ben Pratt, CEO of Nova
“2024 is shaping up to be a real inflection point for Nova and I am excited to be able to give it my full attention. We have great momentum going at Nova, with over 2 GW of projects acquired in the last 6 months and a diverse and strong self-developed pipeline and we see growth increasing in 2024 and beyond.”
– Dylan Reeves
