Richard Palmer

Director, Strategic Projects

Richard is responsible for leading and delivering Syzygy’s strategic projects. With over 25 years’ industry experience in energy, real estate and consultancy, he brings an excellent understanding of the development process and value chain, for implementing flexible energy asset solutions.

Richard is a chartered surveyor. He is chair of the Electricity Storage Network’s (ESN) Markets and Revenues working group, and has held senior commercial energy roles involving procurement, demand forecasting, hedging and trading strategies, renewable generation and retail tariff pricing, product development and risk management. He has experience project managing embedded and directly connected low carbon projects.

Richard enjoys spending time with his young family (and spends most weekends as a caddy to his son on a golf course!), going for an early morning run and occasionally driving his Fordson Major.
