We deliver transmission solutions to meet America’s growing need for carbon-free electricity.

Founded by energy industry veterans and sponsored by one of the world’s leading financial institutions, Viridon combines the expertise and resources of a large company with the customer focus and can-do spirit of a small company.

WE ARE PURPOSE-DRIVEN

We are determined to expedite the clean energy transition, which is why our company name derives from viridis, the Latin word for green. We believe that together we can make a difference in the fight against climate change, by developing innovative grid solutions and deploying capital to realize them.

Viridon is more than just our name. It's our call to action. We're dedicated to bringing clean energy to where it’s needed most and to achieving our country’s vital energy infrastructure goals.

Erin O’Malley
Managing Director Development

WE ARE HIGHLY COLLABORATIVE

We work as one team to make a positive global impact, build a successful business, and ideally have some fun along the way. This approach extends beyond how we work with each other, to our customers, partners, suppliers, communities, and other stakeholders.

At our core, we believe collaboration is the key to unlocking positive change. We work seamlessly as a team internally, and extend that spirit of partnership to every stakeholder – from customers and communities to partners and suppliers.

Vice President Development

WE ARE DEEPLY EXPERIENCED

We have served for decades with some of the top utilities in the country, including roles in transmission system planning, engineering design, permitting, development, procurement, financing, construction, operations, and maintenance.

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.”
