BrightSource Energy Inc. has named David Ramm to the position of CEO. Ramm previously served as executive chairman for the company's board of directors, and will continue to serve as chairman.
Ramm assumes the role of CEO as the company seeks to transition itself as from a U.S. concentrating solar power project developer to becoming a global solar thermal technology provider that offers development support as well as engineering and operational services.
‘It's an exciting time for BrightSource as our work at Ivanpah approaches completion and we focus increasingly on international markets and new applications for solar steam,’ Ramm says, in a statement.
