With its eyes on the proposed New York Bight offshore wind lease sale, EnBW North America, a subsidiary of Germany’s EnBW AG, has made leadership team changes that will see long-term acting president and CEO Dr. Lars Gonschorek serve as CEO and chairman of the board, bringing with him over a decade of experience in offshore wind development.
Damian Bednarz will serve as managing director for EnBW North America after shaping the company’s engagement strategy with key stakeholders and coalitions in the New York Bight over the last 18 months as external affairs director.
EnBW North America says that Bednarz’s prior experience of advancing clean energy issues and projects at the local and federal level and tenure in senior roles at the Obama-Biden Administration’s Department of Energy, have positioned him as a strong force in developing and delivering EnBW’s mission in the United States.
