About Elon Hasson

I focus on what makes renewable projects work in the real world — land, power, and politics.I founded Emerald in 2018 to bring a developer’s discipline to early-stage wind projects: identifying the right sites, building trust with landowners, and navigating permitting and interconnection. We’re a small, senior team that understands how to turn opportunity into projects that actually advance.My background blends hands-on development with real political experience — running statewide campaigns, lobbying in the legislature, and managing public engagement for infrastructure projects. That mix shapes how we work: practical, transparent, and tuned to the realities of local communities and investors alike.If you’re developing or investing in renewables and want to move projects from paper to progress, let’s connect.
