Lodestar Energy

lode*star - 1) a star that leads or guides. 2) something that serves as inspiration model or guide. The shared passion to develop clean renewable energy was a lodestar for Jeff Macel and Jaime Smith when they founded the company. Lodestar brings together an experienced solar development team that utilizes: * regulatory expertise to focus on the right markets; * strong referral network to identify key opportunities; * deep market knowledge to screen opportunities, execute, and maximize value: * project and tax equity financing experience to consistently close projects. Lodestar is a developer of commercial and public sector DG and small utility-scale solar projects. We focus on both organic origination and acquisition. We have a proven track record of developing and financing over 100 projects. We have an unwavering commitment to building pipeline. Our regulatory and policy knowledge allows us to anticipate markets and programs. We are problem solvers - underwriting projects, identifying and closing any development gaps (i.e. engineering, interconnection, permitting, environmental, real-estate, legal contracts).
