Executive Chairman & Founder
ECP
Mr. Kimmelman is Executive Chairman and Founder of ECP having established the firm in 2005. ECP merged with Bridgepoint in 2024 and is now listed on the London Stock Exchange. He is a member of ECP's Management Committee, Investment Committee and Bridgepoint’s Executive Committee. Prior to founding ECP, Mr. Kimmelman spent 22 years with Goldman Sachs, starting in 1983 in the firm’s Pipeline and Utilities Department within the Investment Banking Division. He was named a General Partner of the firm in 1996 and remained exclusively focused on the energy and utility sectors in the Investment Banking Division until 2002 when he transferred to the firm’s J. Aron commodity group to help form a new business for the firm in becoming a risk intermediary in electricity markets. Mr. Kimmelman also played a leadership role at Goldman Sachs in building a principal investing business in power generation and related energy assets. Mr. Kimmelman received a B.A. in Economics from Stanford University and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. ECP and Bridgepoint now have over $80bn in capital under management and is one of the largest energy infrastructure investors in the U.S., having completed projects in all 50 states. ECP is the largest private owner of power generation in the U.S. having owned 83GW of capacity across fossil and renewable power generation assets. ECP holdings combine to be the largest power generator in California and Texas. ECP recently announced the $30bn sale of Calpine to Constellation Energy, making this one of the most profitable private investments ever in the private equity as well as the energy, utility and infrastructure sectors. ECP has also led projects across carbon capture, renewable fuels, waste to energy, recycling, energy efficiency and battery storage. ECP has 104 employees with offices in Summit, NJ, New York, San Diego, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney, Abu Dhabi and London. Philanthropically, Mr. Kimmelman, alongside his four children, is developing one of the largest non-profit community academic and athletic centers in the country in Los Angeles in honor of his late wife. He is partnering on the project with Tiger Woods's charitable foundation and the United States Tennis Association.
Increasing electrification globally, largely driven by the adoption of electric technologies across sectors, has the potential to enhance energy efficiency, advance decarbonisation and strengthen energy security. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects in its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario that electricity's share of total global energy demand will rise to over 27% by 2030 (from 20% in 2022).
Electrification is transforming energy systems such as transportation and heating while enabling the integration of renewable energy sources at scale. However, strategic investment is essential to ensuring adequate grid infrastructure and flexibility as is the need for critical raw materials supply and the overall optimisation of electricity system costs, creating opportunities for cross-sector cooperation and public-private partnerships to deliver a technologically and economically viable path forward. Enhancing grid interconnection is critical to strengthening overall system resilience and optimising cost efficiency, ensuring a more reliable and sustainable energy infrastructure.
