The growing vision for the Smart Grid is to make the existing power grid work more efficiently -- so much more, in fact, that it could reduce the need for additional power plants, or for costly redundant systems designed to work "just in case" of peak demands. Mr. Haskell is charged with assisting in the development of new and innovative applications for Mentorgen’s cutting edge Smart Grid technology.

Allan has spent his entire 41 year career in electric utility operations, planning and engineering. During his 32 year tenure at the Cincinnati Gas & Electric, he developed many innovative optimization techniques in a variety of areas including fuel procurement, generation resource planning and load management strategies. In 1987, he was appointed Director of General Engineering at CG&E. At about that time he was also charged by the Chairman of CG&E to create and lead Enertech International and Power International, the two international subsidiaries of CG&E. The mission of these two subsidiaries was to plan and execute independent power projects in Eastern Europe and along the Pacific Rim. He retired from CG&E in 1995 and joined Fosdick & Hilmer Engineers, a premier consultancy in Cincinnati. There he started a new division that developed state of the art control and automation systems. In 2001 he formed his own firm to do independent consulting in the power industry.

“We are very pleased to have Allan join the Mentorgen team. He brings specific and important expertise to our development and integration process and we are excited about the domain influence he brings to our overall business strategies development,” said Mentorgen CEO Heidi Laughery.
