This week, Achdus Magazine speaks with Mr. Ed Kenny, one of the founders of Think Energy, to discuss his fascinating background and the rising cost of home energy bills, along with a real solution that could help Toms River families achieve significant savings. Ed grew up in a close-knit family in New Vernon, New Jersey, raised by hardworking parents who instilled in him the values of entrepreneurship and community. His father, a World War II veteran, helped liberate the Dachau concentration camp—a legacy of courage and commitment that deeply influenced Ed’s life.
Ed’s own path wasn’t a straight line. He evolved from aspiring filmmaker to telecom businessman, and eventually segueing into the energy world, where he discovered his true passion: helping people save on their energy bills.
In this interview, Ed shares memories of his family, his journey, and how a new state-sponsored community solar program is changing the game for residents in more than fourteen states nationwide. With solar farms coming soon to the Toms River area, he explains why this could be a smart, simple way for families to significantly cut their energy costs.
