The Proficient in Energy Sector
Sheldon Lynn Sutcliffe, the Founder and CEO, is

EnergySolve LLC. Mr. Sutcliffe brought 26 years of
experience in the energy services industry to EnergySolve.

utility issues. He left the Commerce Committee to become
one of the founding partners, and the managing partner, of
Van Ness, Feldman, Sutcliffe & Curtis, P.C. (Currently
VanNess Feldman), a law firm nationally recognized for its
expertise in energy law and policy; he continued with that
firm until 1990. He has served as President and Chief
Executive Officer of several energy service companies since
1990. Mr. Sutcliffe’s expertise includes a wide range of
business, legislative, regulatory, contractual, and financial
issues associated with the energy and environment
industries. Mr. Sutcliffe has twice served as the president of
the National Association of Energy Service Companies and
was a member of the Energy and Transportation Task Force
of the President’s Council on Sustainability in 1996. Mr.
Sutcliffe currently serves on the Energy Efficiency

Public Utilities’ Clean Energy Council and

The Customers
EnergySolve has served all kinds of energy
users. Currently, EnergySolve is specialized
in providing services to governmental
energy users. For example, it pays all the
utility bills of the State of New Jersey, New
Jersey Transit, Jersey City, Newark Housing
Authority, a number of secondary school
districts, several colleges and universities,
and a number of Counties. The vast number
of customers and increased need for energy
audits is making EnergySolve the preferred
system for the new energy users.

Future Perspective
The firm aims to lead the way in solving the
problem of global climate change because
energy efficiency is the least expensive
path. The need for measuring and verifying
the reduction of GHG from energy
efficiency will become a global imperative.
A standard way of measuring the reduction
will have to emerge if GHG reduction goals
are to be realized. This will require the use
of metered data rather than estimates of
savings where gaming can occur.
EnergySolve is planning to play a
significant role in developing the
measurement systems that will be needed to
make sure that the GHG savings from
energy efficiency are honestly tracked and
reported.
