Gus Fromuth holds a distinguished record of achievement in the energy field and is wildly recognized as a pioneer in the industry. Over the course of his more than 30-year career, he founded four successful companies while driving the energy market initiatives and staying true to his business philosophy of advocating for the client, adding value, and delivering best-in-class client service. He continues to work tirelessly to ensure that consumers and businesses alike have access to low cost and innovative energy options. 

Prior to offering a diverse portfolio of energy advisory services at Freedom Energy, the company initially specialized exclusively in direct enrollment of clients into New England’s bulk power market providing them power at wholesale prices. Gus devised the innovative, cost-saving concept of direct end-user access to grid power in ISO-NE, defining and establishing the ground rules for client market access by end user participants. On average, the Direct-to-Grid service serves clients 10-15% against retail electricity rates and continues to be a practical option for some power consumers today. 

Gus has a long history of community service. In 2010, he was elected to the ISO New England’s Consumer Liaison Group Coordinating Committee where he has been serving for more than 10 years. Previously, he was an officer of the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) and a founding member of the End User Sector serving as Vice Chair for four years. He has also served on the ISO-NE Board Nomination Committee, an honor rendered for his extensive experience in the New England electricity markets. In addition, he was nominated to serve on the Manchester Airport Authority, Northwest Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (US Dept Commerce), and Manchester Police Athletic League. He is an active member of the Association of Energy Engineers, Manchester Rotary, and NH Business and Industry Association. 

Gus Fromuth is a graduate of George Washington University with a BA degree in Economics and International Affairs. He also completed advanced degree work in International Public Policy at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
