Michael Scorrano, PE

Managing Director and Founder

Michael is the Managing Director and Founder of EN-POWER GROUP. With over 25 years of experience in both the generation and end-use sides of the energy industry, Michael founded EN-POWER GROUP with the vision of developing an engineering firm that does energy management “better”. With that simple vision, EN-POWER GROUP evolved into an engineering firm that designs, develops, and delivers comprehensive, integrated, and practical energy solutions from concept to completion.

Michael’s engineering career began at Westinghouse Electric in power generation, where he managed the development of large-scale central station and combined‑cycle power generation plants ranging from 100 MW to 1,000+ MW throughout the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. After relocating back to New York, his career transitioned to working directly with large end-users on energy reduction, onsite generation, district steam, microgrids, and renewables at Trigen Energy, eventually leading him to work in the demand-side energy efficiency sector as Director of Business Development at Con Edison Solutions. There his responsibilities included developing companywide strategic plans to accelerate business growth in the commercial, educational, and healthcare sectors, overseeing energy efficiency projects, project financing, commodities trading, and energy purchasing. These extensive and diverse experiences in the energy space empowered Michael to create a company that applies practical solutions to complex energy needs to maximize savings and reduce environmental impacts for its customers.
