About Rich Deming

Two centuries of American success were built on hard work, innovation and smart capital, escalated by paradigm-shifting eras like the industrial and information revolutions. If we can stay focused and understand the true cost of carbon-based energy, we will unleash a revolution for which fortunes will be made. It will drive national prosperity and security, and save our species. I first wrote those words on this profile a decade ago and my focus, passion and opinion is exactly the same today--and we've come a long, long way. It truly is nice to be working on something like that.

Rich Deming Work Experience Details
  • East Energy Renewables
    Chief Executive Officer
    East Energy Renewables Sep 2021 - Present
    Farmville, Nc, Us
    I'm excited to spend this part of my career in a position that is a capstone for everything that happened before it. I was able to drive the Power Resource Group from a "group of one" to a team of stakeholders who successfully developed 10+ MW of solar, a biodiesel facility and a biomass power plant. PRG was a nimble player in a shifting new industry, assembling teams of strategic partners to tackle steep challenges and the resources required to execute successfully.Our industry is entering a new phase--the debate is over, the incumbent energy infrastructure is now more expensive, clean energy won. A core group of folks inside and outside of my circle started meeting in early 2021 to form a plan for the best type of vehicle and best resources to aggressively grow into this next era, the clean energy economy. And so...one of those 20-year overnight successes is born.With East Energy, I'm proud to bring it all home under one roof: aggressive development team to acquire sites and match feedstock to bankable technology; EPC partnerships with true professionals who understand how to execute in a way that meets performance guarantees and deadlines; finance partners who understand this industry, and a world class, in-house operations team with decades of experience to run our power plants. The pipeline is full for three years, and this next chapter is going to be something to behold.
  • Power Resource Group
    Ceo, Founder
    Power Resource Group Jan 2013 - Dec 2021
    The Power Resource Group was an excellent transition from consulting to direct action for me. The tough life of project development in a nascent industry--finance unfamiliar with the risk profile, technologies that are not quite ready-for-primetime, business models too complex to explain in an elevator pitch. It has not been for the faint of heart, but it has been an amazing ride.
  • Shift Equity
    Partner
    Shift Equity Jan 2013 - Dec 2018
    Charlotte, North Carolina, Us
    Shift Equity worked to support renewable energy project development, mostly through finance and environmental commodities markets. I enjoyed my time here immensely, left Calor with a core of my team and we did some interesting things at an interesting time in the industry and learned much while having a lot of fun. Shift still owns the rights to projects we helped develop, with distributions to the partners, and we may re-awaken it as a vehicle for more excitement when the time is ripe!
  • Calor Energy
    Senior Partner
    Calor Energy Apr 2009 - Dec 2012
    Charlotte, Nc, Us
    Calor Energy provided an excellent platform to build my government funding skills and manage a larger team toward that effort. I traveled to DC regularly to interact with key energy players at the DOE, EPA, USDA and elsewhere, and to connect my clients with their political representatives in a meaningful way. While at Calor, I was able to play key roles in raising nearly $7 million in public funding, to assist dozens of clients in their government affairs requirements, and to successfully manage several large public projects. Because of my knack for raising public funds, I was able during this period to interact with a large number of teams creating innovative energy technology. I left Calor to start up a brokerage for environmental credits called the Carbon Advantage Program.
  • Aedifico, Llc
    Director
    Aedifico, Llc Jan 2004 - Mar 2009
    Aedifico, llc was a very small consulting firm; I initially spent most of my time doing troubleshooting-type construction management for the Bank of America Redevelopment Company, but began to gain experience in energy and sustainability in this period. I started with the built environment but also became very focused on biofuel and solar technology. During this time I did a lot of learning, attending every clean energy class, seminar and boot camp I could find, and enjoyed setting up a biofuel cooperative and other start-ups, and helping build a solar installation crew for a local company.By the end of this period, I was the Energy Lead at the Centralina Council of Goverments, a regional government entity with a membership of over a hundred municipal and county governments.. I found that my skill set of complex stakeholder relations, clearly organized written communication, and passion for advanced energy technology is an excellent combination for connecting public funding to energy projects and then administering them to successful completion. I worked with the COG on a large number of great projects through the years, especially during the rush of stimulus funding to projects throughout the region..
  • Component Systems, Inc
    Founder/Partner
    Component Systems, Inc Jan 2002 - Jan 2004
    CSI took waste from construction and milled it into trellises and plant stakes for the nursery industry in Florida. I had watched for years as truck after truck of lumber waste headed to the landfill. My partners and I started CSI to divert that waste stream. While a subsidiary, it was mostly scrappy startup adrenaline. We converted a 50,000 square foot sawmill into a recycling center and built the company from zero to over $1 million in revenue in 24 months---not incredible, perhaps, but considering that the product cost 15 cents each, $1 million represents a lot of recycled trellises.
  • Dd, Inc.
    Co-Founder, President
    Dd, Inc. Jan 1995 - Jan 2002
    DD, Inc stands for Diversified Development and is a construction company focusing primarily on multi-family residential projects in the Southeast. After my time in Europe, I took an unplanned stop in the construction business. My primary motivation was the cash required to pay off student loans--I had the knowledge and experience from many years of family business in this industry and opportunity presented itself. As we started up and then scaled up, I found that I enjoyed the complexity of marshaling dozens of workers and millions of dollars in materials to get large projects built through the web of regulatory challenge. I helped build the company from start-up to $20 million per year in revenue, while concurrently building subsidiaries, before I left for the next challenge.
  • Budapest Business Journal
    Journalist
    Budapest Business Journal Oct 1993 - Mar 1994
    The Budapest Business Journal is an English-language weekly in Budapest, Hungary. My first job after graduate school, and quite an experience in the aftermath of the fall of communism and the bumpy transition to a market economy. Working in the "wild wild east" at that time prepared me for life in the trenches of early-stage clean energy technologies. I have found on many occasions, when I've needed to "parachute" into a situation and quickly gather facts and contacts, whether to understand the feasibility of a project, a site, or a company, that the mental muscles I developed here and at other reporter jobs before it, has been invaluable.
