See More Details >>New Leaf Energy is an experienced clean energy developer that partners with landowners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to accelerate the transition to a world powered by renewable energy. We identify high-value sites, work with landowners and local communities to develop them, and partner with long-term asset owners to bring the most impactful clean energy projects to life. New Leaf Energy (NLE) is a national leader in clean energy project development, with a long and successful history first as Borrego Energy’s project development division and then as a stand-alone company. In 2019, Borrego formally separated its Development (“DevCo”) and EPC functions, believing that its industry-leading development platform worked best under a pure-play, develop-and-sell model. ECP bought the business unit in 2022 and founded New Leaf Energy. Since then, NLE has continued to operate under a model in which it sells the projects it develops prior to construction notice to proceed, but for reasons we look forward to discussing with you, we believe now is the time to complement that core model – which will remain the core model – with the ability to build and own some of the projects we develop. Accordingly, New Leaf Energy seeks a Vice President with P&L responsibility for its new IPP division, reporting to the CEO. The VP will lead a small team of NLE employees who will work exclusively in the IPP division, and will also draw on resources of the broader company so that projects can be financed, constructed, and operated. We have begun forming the IPP and will still be in the early stages when you join the company. In launching this business, we have quickly developed a saying: the IPP is there to serve the DevCo but not to subsidize the DevCo. We want you to build and run an IPP within a developer; success in this role means serving and strengthening the core business, while running a division that is profitable in its own right. This position may be filled out of our Lowell, MA; Boston, MA; Troy, NY; Oakland, CA; or Chicago, IL offices. We value in-person collaboration and offer a hybrid work environment. Hybrid employees work in the office at least two out of every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and are free to work from the office or home on other days. Position Responsibilities Will Include, But Are Not Limited To • Be accountable to the executive team and the board for profitable and efficient functioning of NLE’s IPP. Own the P&L. • Take responsibility for completing the remaining work to stand up the IPP. • Manage 6-8 employees who work within the IPP. The team may grow, but staying small and efficient is an objective. • Find the appropriate balance of internal and external resources to perform IPP functions, and form and build relationships with external providers of outsourced services; • Collaborate with other NLE leaders and employees to ensure smooth cross-functional relationships. Always remember that the strategic purpose of the IPP is to serve and strengthen the DevCo; you will have to deeply understand and continuously better understand the development business and its leaders’ problems and priorities. • Don’t subsidize the DevCo, though; defend the IPP against adverse selection, against being taken advantage of by the DevCo. The IPP’s job is to strengthen the DevCo, but it must be paid fairly for everything it does, and it must get a good price for the projects. • Collaborate with other IPP employees and the CEO to raise capital to finance projects. • Ensure that the IPP is overseeing high-quality, on-budget, on-time construction projects, by hiring and managing EPC contractors and others. • Develop the IPP’s asset management strategy, for projects that reach commercial operation. • Sell IPP assets! We’re not trying to build a huge IPP that adds to the company’s enterprise value by accumulating assets. When we can sell off operating projects at attractive prices and recycle capital, we’ll want to do that. Desired Qualifications • A minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in renewable energy development, EPC, project finance, and/or operations, ideally including experience operating one or more essential functions for a renewable energy IPP; • Experience scaling organizations or building new functions within a growth-stage company; • Prior P&L responsibility for a business or business unit and a strong understanding of the drivers of financial results for an IPP business; • Project design and construction subject matter expertise derived from direct experience; • Familiarity with power purchase agreements, contract negotiations, and power plant offtake strategies, as well as with aspects of projects finance such as capital structure and M&A; • Superb stakeholder management and relationship-building skills; • Experience working with a wide range of stakeholders, including investors, lenders, utilities, and leaders of other departments of functions within a single company; • Ability to evaluate project economics and perform or oversee financial modeling to drive business decisions; • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to thrive in a dynamic environment; adaptability to changing regulatory, financial, and market conditions; • A track record of strong people management including mentoring, developing talent, and building cohesive, high-performing teams that include a diverse set of skills, habits, and cultures: think finance, development, and construction management, all under one roof; • Exceptional verbal, written, and interpersonal communication; comfort with board- and executive-level communications and reporting; • Strong project management discipline; • Passion for renewables and decarbonization; and • Maximum integrity and accountability, with affinity for NLE’s cultural pillars of transparency, respect, and humility.
