Jimmy Glotfelty Joins Aalo as Senior Government Programs Advisor

We’re proud to welcome Jimmy Glotfelty to Aalo Atomics as our new Senior Government Programs Advisor.

Jimmy is a veteran of the U.S. energy sector with more than three decades of experience across state government, federal agencies, and the private sector, all centered on advancing the electric power industry. His leadership has consistently shaped major infrastructure, regulatory, and policy efforts at both state and national levels.

Most recently, Jimmy served as a Commissioner at the Texas Public Utility Commission, appointed by Governor Greg Abbott in 2021. During his time at the PUC, he played a key role in strengthening ERCOT, expanding the state’s transmission network, and enhancing grid reliability. He also chaired the Texas Advanced Nuclear Reactor Working Group, leading the development of a comprehensive policy roadmap to position Texas as a national leader in advanced nuclear energy.

Before that, as head of the Government Solutions Group at Quanta Services, Jimmy spearheaded a $15 billion initiative to manage and rebuild the power system in Puerto Rico. His work connected government priorities with large-scale electric infrastructure projects, demonstrating the impact of public-private coordination at national scale.

Jimmy’s public-sector experience also includes serving as Director of the Office of Electricity at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he advised the Secretary of Energy and led national policy efforts to streamline energy permitting and improve reliability.

Earlier in his career, he co-founded Clean Line Energy Partners, developing multistate HVDC transmission projects aimed at unlocking renewable energy at scale. He also held leadership roles at Calpine, permitting and developing natural gas-fired power plants across the U.S.

Across every chapter of his career, Jimmy has been a connector, linking innovation with government policy, complex capital projects with effective execution, and cutting-edge technology with real-world deployment.

At Aalo, Jimmy will help us navigate government partnerships, funding pathways, and regulatory opportunities as we work to deploy Aalo Pods across the country. His understanding of both advanced nuclear policy and the operational reality of power systems will be key to scaling our impact.

Welcome, Jimmy.
