Cole W. Johnson is a highly accomplished executive with almost 2 decades of experience in the energy industry. He has held various leadership roles and currently serves on multiple boards. As Chairman and CEO of Bridgelink Development and associated companies, he has played a critical role in the day-to-day growth of each asset within Bridgelink umbrella. In early 2018, Mr. Johnson shifted his focus to growing the family office and development sector of the business. Under his guidance, the family office has amassed $550 million in assets and company shares, positioning it as a leading investment and development firm in Texas.

Under Mr. Johnson’s leadership as Chairman and CEO, the development team has achieved exceptional growth in their pipeline backlog, with over 10GW of power set to come online, expectedly in the next 36 months across the United States. In 2012, Mr. Johnson embarked on his journey of building a company portfolio in the energy sector, with a focus on construction and development services. Through sheer hard work and dedication, he was able to grow this portfolio from scratch to generating over $150M in annual revenue with over 20 percent gross profit margin by strategically expanding into new divisions and geographical regions, as well as M&A execution to accelerate growth. By 2018, Mr. Johnson had successfully established a strong management team to handle the day-to-day operations of the construction and development side, allowing him to shift his attention towards investing in energy infrastructure projects through his family office. While still securing revenue from traditional sources such as oil and gas, Mr. Johnson's focus has been shifted towards renewable energy sources, especially BESS, showcasing his commitment towards sustainable development in the industry.

Starting with the first project of 400MW solar and BESS in Texas's ERCOT market, he laid the foundation for a successful journey ahead. Over the years, Mr. Johnson continued to expand the company's portfolio through various transactions, securing capital for early-stage projects, negotiating and qualifying projects for project financing, acquiring strategic projects, and bringing on necessary funds to build a highly desirable pipeline of projects. As a result of his efforts and expertise, Mr. Johnson has successfully completed over $500 million worth of transactions while serving as the CEO of the family office. With this global vision for renewable development and operation, Mr. Johnson joined Bimergen Energy in 2024 with a determination to bring large-scale renewable projects online as asset owner and Independent Power Producer (IPP), as he understands the importance of balancing the U.S. aging grid and applying latest technologies for more power efficiency to meet the ever-growing demand for power in the United States.
