Speakers
Lewis Butler, Senior Account Executive, TotalEnergies
Lewis Butler is a Senior Account Executive at TotalEnergies, where he leads commercial solar project development from site assessment through contract negotiation and financing. With over eight years in the industry, he has developed projects across 50+ ground and roof sites.
Before TotalEnergies, Lewis served as National C&I Sales Manager at Nelnet Renewable Energy, expanding operations to three new states. He holds a B.S. in Economics from Hillsdale College and an M.A. in Economics from George Mason University.
Lewis is active in state-level renewable energy policy and serves as Board President of ISEA (Illinois Solar & Storage Energ Association), with previous board and advisory roles at MOSEIA, ISETA, and ASGA. In 2020, his dog-bone-shaped solar array for a pet treat manufacturer won Solar Builder Magazine’s C&I Project of the Year.
Mark Goudreault, CPower, Origination Manager, Distributed Generation
Mark Goudreault is the Origination Manager of Distributed Generation at CPower Energy, where he focuses on developing and scaling commercial and industrial (C&I) storage and flexible load strategies across PJM and MISO markets. In his role, Mark works closely with developers, asset owners, and C&I customers to unlock project value beyond traditional bill savings by integrating grid revenues and coincidental peak savings.
With a background that spans energy efficiency, demand response, and distributed generation, Mark brings a practical, market-facing perspective on what is actually penciling in today’s Midwest C&I projects. His work centers on aligning on-site generation and storage assets with utility programs and wholesale market opportunities—such as Frequency Regulation participation, capacity and transmission management, and full-scale BESS optimization—to improve project economics in increasingly competitive regulatory environments.
