In this episode of Green Giants: Titans of Renewable Energy, host Wes Ashworth sits down with Nasreddine Guerfala, Executive Vice President of Growth & DERs at Edgecom Energy and one of Canada’s 2025 Clean50 Emerging Leaders. With a career that spans continents and disciplines from engineering and legal strategy to policy influence and AI-driven energy management, Nasreddine brings a uniquely global and cross-functional lens to the clean energy transition.
From growing up in Tunisia, where necessity shaped his passion for resourcefulness and impact, to leading multi-million-dollar battery storage deals across North America, Nasreddine has emerged as one of the sector’s most dynamic voices.
