Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Nicolas
Hello,
My goal is to promote renewable electric energies internationally, following experiences in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific.
I have been working in the energy sector for 10 years, covering solar production, transmission, and efficient electricity consumption, including feasibility studies, project development, and financing.
I have contributed to this in large groups, in engineering firms, and in my startup. I enjoy working with everyone, whether they are researchers, project managers, clients, students, decision-makers, associations, or financiers.
With a scientific and engineering background (energy storage research), I have increasingly focused on energy development projects, with my last role as an owner's engineer in Micronesia.
I am based in Montreuil and always available for impactful projects!
