“We are excited to welcome Dale to our sustainable infrastructure team,” said Scott Barrington, North Sky’s CEO. “Dale was CEO of one of our highly successful sustainable infrastructure investments, FLS Energy, and brings more than 15 years of renewable power development and operating experience.”

“FLS was a top player in the burgeoning North Carolina solar market, and we were pleased to partner with Dale and the FLS team to help them execute their growth plans,” added Adam Bernstein, North Sky’s head of infrastructure investments.

“We have great confidence in Dale, having worked closely with him on the FLS board across a range of complex situations and in different roles during our ownership,” commented North Sky managing director Mike Pohlen. “We are excited to work with him again to create value for investors in our sustainable infrastructure funds.”

“I am thrilled to be joining North Sky,” Freudenberger said. “I enjoyed working with Mike, Adam and the rest of the North Sky team at FLS, and I look forward to building on that success to collaboratively develop and deploy more clean energy projects across the United States.”
