About Daniel

Daniel Abrahamson, CEM, provides independent technical review and advisory support for clean energy infrastructure projects, helping municipalities evaluate submissions and make informed decisions.

He serves as Municipal Energy Manager for the Hampshire Regional Partnership, supporting Southampton, Westhampton, Williamsburg, and the Hampshire Regional School District on energy planning, efficiency upgrades, grant-funded improvements, and long-term decarbonization.
