WEST ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Great Bay Insurance Group (the “Group”), the leading provider of coastal homeowners’ insurance in New Jersey, today announced that Timothy J. Byrne, Sr., Chief Executive Officer of the Group, has been award the Company Person of the Year by the PIANJ at its annual conference.  This award is given to individuals who foster a strong working relationship with agents and brokers, and who exemplify a commitment to professionalism and service.

Great Bay is a coastal Homeowners writer in New Jersey with plans to expand into other products and States.  Great Bay is known for its ease of doing business, prompt fair claims handling and most of all for providing a stable market.

Mr. Byrne, Sr., a founding member of the Group in 2019, has over 40 years of broad industry experience in various leadership capacities.  Mr. Byrne began his career at 14 years old working summers in his father’s retail agency founded by his grandfather John J Byrne in 1959, The J Byrne Agency of Cape May County NJ, working nine summers while attending Wildwood High School, Rutgers College and a post-graduate degree in Insurance from what is now the St. John’s School of Risk Management, Insurance & Actuarial Science. Mr. Byrne joined the agency full-time in June of 1983.

In 2003 Mr. Byrne, having identified the need for a Coastal Homeowners option, founded Coastal Agents Alliance (“CAA”) ultimately placing over $50,000,000 in surplus lines homeowners’ business in eight northeast states.  In 2015 he sold CAA to Gryphon investors who merged CAA with Orchid Underwriters out of Vero Beach FL.

After three years at Orchid Underwriters, Mr. Byrne left to form Great Bay Insurance Group, which began operations in August of 2019. In Mr. Byrne’s acceptance speech, he highlighted his love of independent agents and how IAs were the key to his success.  Between his time at CAA and Orchid he claimed he has probably visited more independent agencies than any other person alive. “Few can do what independent agencies can do,” Mr. Byrne told the audience of independent agents. “From the threat of ‘captive agents’ in the 1970s to the ‘banks-forming-insurance-agencies’ of the 1990s to the current AI and the internet cutting out the middleman, agents have survived.  Weathering the coastal HO crises post Andrew or KRW, or the wildfire crisis post-California fires, IA’s have not only survived but thrive in challenging environments. Other outlets of distribution pack up and go home,” said Mr. Byrne.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global clean energy leader BLUETTI has deepened its partnership with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) to accelerate access to sustainable clean energy across Africa. Building on the ongoing ‘Lighting An African Family’ (LAAF) initiative in Kenya, now in its fourth year, the program continues to benefit 500 families and more than 2,000 residents in urban and peri-urban underserved communities, the majority from women-led households.

As part of the partnership, BLUETTI attended the 2025 Devolution Conference (12–15 August), Kenya’s premier policy forum, to showcase how clean, affordable energy solutions support housing, urban resilience, and intelligent urban solutions. The conference reinforced the shared commitment of parties, institutions and the Kenyan Government that clean energy is critical to foster a sustainable future for all.

Building on this momentum, the partnership engaged communities in two urban areas: Muhoroni, a rapidly growing peri-urban area in Kisumu County, and EX-Grogon and Mathare, informal settlements in central Nairobi. Through training and technology transfer, BLUETTI donated 500 E60 Solar Lighting and Storage kits, benefiting over 2,000 residents. Over five years, the initiative is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 337.5 tons, while enhancing urban resilience and environmental awareness in the communities.

“Partnership with BLUETTI brings renewable energy to vulnerable families in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially for women led households, showcasing a UN- private sector partnership model,” Mr Oumar Sylla, Director of the Regional Office for Africa at UN-Habitat said while meeting the representatives of BLUETTI at the UN offices in Nairobi.

“We are proud to strengthen our joint effort with UN-Habitat, embracing the mission and responsibility of advancing the Sustainable Development Goals,” said James Ray, BLUETTI spokesperson.

Following the Kenya launch, BLUETTI and UN-Habitat plan to expand related programs to other African countries, reaffirming their commitment to sustainability and energy equity.

ENFIELD, Conn., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Louth Callan Renewables today announced it has rebranded to Louth Callan to better reflect its transformation of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services to include Geothermal, Transmission & Substation (T&S), and Traditional Industrial Power projects across the United States. The move reflects the company’s evolution from a renewable focused builder to a full spectrum energy and infrastructure partner capable of delivering complex, grid-critical assets from concept to Commercial Operation.

“Rebranding to Louth Callan reflects our commitment to serving the full spectrum of our clients’ infrastructure needs—renewable and conventional, generation and grid, and everything in between,” said Nicholas Sylvestre, Founder and CEO of Louth Callan. “By combining the discipline and rigor of utility-scale EPC with the speed and adaptability required for fast-moving, capital-intensive projects, we are building a broader EPC platform that can deliver across modern energy systems. This evolution strengthens our ability to partner with clients through the energy transition, ensuring reliable, efficient, and future-ready solutions.”

With the expanded offerings, Louth Callan now delivers turnkey EPC solutions across four complementary domains:

• Geothermal – Full-lifecycle delivery from feasibility and resource assessment through wellfield development, surface facilities, and power island integration. Focusing on both utility scale plant construction and commercial and industrial applications. Louth Callan’s execution model emphasizes subsurface risk management, HSE leadership, and integration with district energy and industrial heat users where applicable.
• Transmission & Substation (T&S) – Planning, design, and construction of high-voltage lines and substations, including protection & controls, relaying, SCADA, and commissioning. The team supports grid interconnections for utility owners, IPPs, and large energy consumers, with a focus on quality, outage minimization, and schedule certainty.
• Traditional Industrial Power – EPC for conventional thermal and industrial power assets, including combined heat and power (CHP), process steam, and balance-of-plant upgrades and repowers. Louth Callan’s approach emphasizes reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost optimization.
• Renewables (Ongoing) – The company continues to execute utility scale (50mws or greater) solar, storage, hydro and hybrid projects integrating these assets with T&S scopes and, where appropriate, with geothermal or thermal resources to form resilient portfolios.

“Our customers want one accountable partner who can safely deliver complex projects, align with evolving interconnection standards, and manage multi-disciplinary risk,” Nicholas stated, “By unifying our brand and expanding our EPC capabilities, Louth Callan is positioned to deliver exactly that.”

What does this mean for our partners?

• A more comprehensive and detailed Louth Callan: A single brand and unified project delivery model across generation, grid, and industrial scopes.
• Same trusted team but expanded: Existing contracts, teams, and points of contact remain unchanged; the legal entity and obligations are unaffected by the brand update, but the strength and experience of our team increases significantly.
• Stronger supply chain: Expanded vendor frameworks and category strategies across electrical equipment, major mechanical packages, drilling/well services, and civil works.
• Clear HSE & Quality leadership: Reinforced programs aligned to internationally recognized standards, with field-first safety culture and continuous improvement baked into commissioning and turnover.

Louth Callan’s EPC framework is engineered to de-risk critical path activities such as permitting, interconnection, long-lead procurement, civil & foundations, and commissioning while maintaining rigorous interface control across OEMs and specialty subcontractors. The result is predictable schedules, grid-compliant assets, and lifecycle performance aligned to customers’ commercial objectives.

The Louth Callan brand transformation includes a refreshed logo, a new visual identity, and a redesigned website that will roll out across digital channels, job sites, documentation, vehicles, and PPE over the coming weeks. While our branding has changed, our unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and excellence remains the same. We invite you to explore the new site, learn more about our work and see how we are building better – together. www.louthcallan.com

Thank you for being a part of the journey.
