This transformative mission strengthens regional alliances, enhances U.S. energy independence, and fosters prosperity across the Western Hemisphere. Adam Rousselle is a visionary leader in the energy and bulk electric transmission sectors, with nearly three decades of groundbreaking innovations. He has pioneered advanced remote sensing technologies and transformative energy solutions, earning recognition as a trailblazer in both industries. As the principal inventor of eight U.S. patents and over 30 international patents, his work has revolutionized asset management and operational efficiencies for critical infrastructure. In the late 1990s, Rousselle partnered with NASA to develop remote sensing technologies that inventoried timber from space, redefining timber asset management and improving valuations. His innovations exposed illegal logging in Indonesia and positioned him as the world's leading consumer of commercial satellite imagery by 2003. In 2005, he founded Utility Risk Management Corporation, applying these technologies to optimize vegetation management. Rousselle's expertise led to the invention of thermography, enabling independent facility rating analysis on the bulk electric system, identifying available transmission capacity, and unlocking financial transmission rights. In 2017, he founded Alternative Transmission, Inc., introducing a patented disaggregated battery system that transmits electricity without wires, delivering power during national emergencies. Today, as CEO of CBPA, Rousselle drives American energy leadership in the Caribbean Basin. Through Project Equity, he oversees undersea and underground transmission systems to provide Puerto Rico with resilient, affordable energy. This work enhances energy security for millions of American citizens and establishes the U.S. as the energy powerhouse of the Western Hemisphere A decorated combat-disabled U.S. Army veteran, Rousselle is committed to resilience, innovation, and humanitarian impact. His leadership ensures CBPA is more than a utility-it is a force for economic growth, national security, and regional prosperity
