Hi, I am Ross Coull, the founder and CEO of Skye Renewables, a solar development company in Southeast Asia.Before Skye, my day job was primarily in private equity, investing in high quality companies in Europe and emerging markets. This included CDC Group (now called British International Investment (“BII”)), the UK’s Development Finance Institution, where I learned about sustainability-focussed investments.In parallel, my passion for entrepreneurship took me on a hunt around the world for something exciting. In 2010, some friends and I landed in India and partnered with BBLUNT, a well known hair salon and beauty company, helping turn it into one of the leading salon brands in the country. The idea of Skye Renewables first came up when I relocated to Singapore and wanted to build a company that is at the centre of the energy transition. Founded in 2021, the company supports clients that are looking to move to renewable energy sources.If you are an organisation that wants to start (or continue) your sustainability journey and reduce your electricity costs, then you’ll find us interesting. What we do here is simple: we finance, build, operate and maintain solar systems on the rooftops of your buildings. There is no investment by you, all you do is pay for the power that you consume.At Skye Renewables, we believe that the move to renewable energy is no longer a nice-to-have, but an urgent and essential part of our shift to a more sustainable economy. We focus on helping companies make this journey.To contact me, simply send me a message on LinkedIn.

Founder & CeoSkye Renewables Mar 2021 - PresentSingaporeSkye Renewables is helping corporate clients make the move to solar-power across Southeast Asian countries.The business is backed by Idemitsu Kosan Co. and British International Investment plc.Through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), we develop and finance on-site (captive) solar projects for these clients, allowing them to enjoy cheaper, cleaner electricity, without incurring any of the upfront capital expenditure.Going solar can have financial, strategic and reputational advantages for your business.- Reduces electricity costs as the cost per kWh from captive solar is usually lower than the utility.- Increases access to capital as financial institutions become more attracted to businesses that are taking an active response to ESG issues.- Helps to preempt fines, penalties, and enforcement actions from unsustainable business practices.- Greater access to resources, projects and business pipelines from a better reputation on sustainability issues. -
