SuperNode Ltd., the developer of innovative subsea and terrestrial superconducting electricity transmission cables, today announced the appointment of Andrew Carlisle as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and member of SuperNode’s executive team. Andrew comes from a position as Head of Product Development at SuperNode.
SuperNode CEO John Fitzgerald said:
“Andrew has been with us since 2021. His obvious technical and leadership skills make him a natural choice for leading SuperNode’s strong technology team, as we enter the manufacturing and pilot testing phases of developing our next generation of superconducting power cables.”
Andrew Carlisle said:
“I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to lead the fantastic technical team that SuperNode has been building over the years. Grid technology availability is a major stumbling block to decarbonise our economies and to address climate change. I am honoured to lead SuperNode’s mission to develop innovative superconducting transmission technology, that can enable the rapid transition to a renewable energy future.”
Prior to joining SuperNode in 2021, Andrew worked for various technology companies providing innovative solutions to the renewable energy sector. He was hired from OpenHydro by the CEO to lead technology development as CTO of new venture XOCEAN. These past experiences have contributed greatly to accelerate SuperNode’s marine product development. Andrew holds a Masters of Engineering (MEng), in Aerospace and Aerothermal engineering from Cambridge University.
Andrew Carlisle takes over the CTO position from Emiliano Frulloni.
“I would like to thank Emiliano for his positive contribution to SuperNode and wish him well in his future endeavours,” Fitzgerald said.

About SuperNode:
SuperNode specialises in the development of innovative Superconducting subsea and terrestrial cables, harnessing the unique characteristics of superconductive materials. Superconducting cables are capable of transferring very large amounts of power efficiently over long distances. Superconducting cables can operate at higher currents and therefore lower voltage levels than conventional copper-based cable technology, meaning they require significantly less infrastructure, materials and space and have a smaller environmental footprint. Superconducting cables will be a critical enabling technology for energy independence and a renewable energy future.
