Terence Waldron

Terence Waldron

CEO, Waldron Engineering & Construction, Inc.

Terry attended Monsignor Bonner High School in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  There he became a member of the school’s rowing team, spending afternoons rowing on the Schuylkill River.  Prompted by his thirst for technical knowledge and desire to advance his rowing, he went on to Columbia University in New York City.  In 1982 he graduated Columbia with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Mechanics with a strong concentration in applied mathematics.

During his tenure at Columbia University he worked as an intern with Stone and Webster, joining the firm full time after graduation and working on the design of nuclear power plants.  Foreseeing the decline of the nuclear power industry, he moved his talents to Boston and joined Chas. T. Main.  At Main he was a mechanical engineer working in the industrial power group.  While at Main he developed PC-based applications for performing heat balance and fluid flow modeling systems.  

Terry then founded Waldron Engineering when it became evident there was a need for highly skilled engineering services with responsive customer focus for the new independent power industry.   For the last 32 years he has lead Waldron to become an industry leader in the microgrid, private power and renewable industry.

When not offering solutions to clients, Terry spends time with his wife and five children, enjoys running, rowing, biking and devouring historical novels. But, a true geek at heart, he has the most fun developing ideas for new energy technologies – some of which will soon come to fruition.

 

Sessions
"This is my first year at POWERGEN and so far I can just say, wow, this event is huge. I never thought I would have access to so many different vendors and so many different experts in the energy industry by coming to an event like this."
Caitlyn Watkins
Cleco
"It's my first time at POWERGEN. I'm having a great time walking around and seeing all of the booths in the exhibit hall and everything that everybody's trying to sell me, as well as a lot of very useful technical presentations. My particular favorite has been the carbon capture track, but they've all been good that I've attended so far."
Janelle Dana
Entergy
"Hi, I’m Chad Lemoine with Entergy... here as a corrective actions program specialist. It’s my first time at POWERGEN, so it’s been great for networking. I’ve met personnel at our plants I’d only talked to on the phone, so that face-to-face interaction has been really good. I’ve enjoyed meeting new people, learning about what they do, and how it interacts with my work... Overall, it's been a really good time."

"I think my favorite part of the conference has been essentially the Smarter Power Plant Track. There's been a lot of good [takeaways] for us because our plans are quite old, so there's a lot of manual readings and things, but me being the IT generation, I think it could be done better. So having a lot of these [takeaways] from companies who have [accomplished what] we are wanting to do is great. It's been really eye opening networking with all of the exhibitors [as well]. It's my first time here, but I don’t think it's going to be my last."
Jonathan Hellborg
Svensk Kraftreserv
“Nel’s chosen to sponsor and be part of POWERGEN because it's one of the more important shows in the hydrogen market, also the power generation market in general. Over the years, we've seen a shift in POWERGEN from more traditional power generation to a greater presence with renewables, and now with hydrogen, as an energy source, moving into the future.” 
Chris Van Name
Nel Hydrogen
“We're here today at the conference because I believe this is the largest power generation conference there is in the country. One, it's a way to get our name out and that's why we're sponsoring it. But two, it's also a great way to connect with other groups, other organizations and, you know, meet the people who are actually important for our own progression as a company.” 
James Walker
Nano Nuclear Energy, Inc
“We come to POWERGEN every year because it's a great show you can make great contacts in the renewable space, great contacts in the data center space, great contacts in the commercial industrial space. So that's why we're here every year. You should be here too.”
