Electrical distribution company Turtle & Hughes on June 24 announced the launch of a new business department, Turtle Energy Storage Services (TESS), under the direction of Executive Vice Presidents Mark Crowdis and Kenneth McCauley. 

“With a large number of cities and states committed to 100% renewable energy, battery storage systems are moving our world closer to carbon-free energy use. These new technologies provide opportunities for a wide range of commercial, industrial and utility scale applications. With Mark and Ken on our team, we see this as a natural extension of our proven expertise achieved over the last century in power distribution, industrial infrastructure and energy management solutions,” says Luis Valls, president of Turtle & Hughes Electrical Distribution Division.

Adds Crowdis, “We joined Turtle & Hughes because we have known the family and the executives running the business for 10 years.  They are efficient, driving sustainability on an enterprise level, as well as with their customers; they know how to run projects in a profitable manner.  There is no organization better positioned to advance energy storage markets.”
