Sanjeev Pushkarna
Senior Program Manager
As Senior Program Manager, my job is all about enabling innovation to support Nova Scotia's clean energy transition.
I live and work in Halifax, and best part of my job is collaborating with others who want to make a meaningful impact including colleagues, customers and organizations throughout the local energy ecosystem.
Along with my team and industry partners, we're making clean technology more accessible through the Smart Grid Nova Scotia pilot project—this can help Nova Scotians save money and reduce their carbon footprint.
Fun fact about me: I grew up in the beautiful Annapolis Valley (Kentville) and went to the same school, Kings County Academy, from grade primary to grade 12!
