GE’s first batteries to be shipped to South Africa

Prescott Logan, general manager of General Electric Co.’s Energy Storage Technologies, was the keynote speaker at the Annual Business Campaign (ABC) kickoff breakfast at College Park Hall. Logan discussed GE’s new industrial battery plant in Schenectady and manufacturing the next generation of industrial energy storage.

The ABC breakfast, a thank you to the supporters of the scholarship fund, received extensive coverage from print and electronic media. Since 1993, hundreds of local businesses have contributed to the fund, which provides scholarships to students from Albany, Columbia, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schoharie and Schenectady counties.

ABC’s chair is Richard Fuerst '96, of Higgins, Roberts, Beyerl & Coan.
