Together, we navigate the complexities of projects, ensuring highly efficient and highly effective solutions that are win-wins for all parties.
Warren Whitson
Vice President Development
I spent many years at a large utility, and I have seen first-hand how experience shapes the decision-making that moves a company forward. At Viridon, we distinguish ourselves from our competitors through our experience. We have put together the best in the business from across our industry, and that has given us the deep understanding needed to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers.

Viridon is proud to be a portfolio company of Blackstone. This partnership not only provides us with access to critical capital needs, but also leverages Blackstone's industry expertise and deep relationships to gain access to resources that other companies in our industry cannot as easily attain. This allows us to be highly effective and price-competitive from the jump.
Chad Newhouse
Vice President Regulatory
As we grow, we continue to stay committed to collaboration and our mission driven work. Our culture unites us in making a positive impact in our communities, building a business that we are proud of and having fun along the way.
