In addition, he brings a strong background in fundraising, financial analysis, and project execution, making him a trusted leader in advancing renewable energy initiatives.
Pete was a founding partner of Hill Country Wind Power, a utility-scale wind developer, and later a founding partner of Clean Power Texas, a utility-scale solar developer.

His leadership helped advance multiple large-scale renewable energy projects from concept to construction readiness, establishing a strong track record in both wind and solar development.
Pete was also a founding partner at Basin Renewables, a developer focused on data centers, utility-scale solar, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). At Basin, he led the advancement of two flagship projects in Texas: a 600 MW utility-scale solar farm with a 400 MW BESS, fully integrated with a 400 MW hyperscale data center, and a 300 MW hyperscale campus in the Dallas–Fort Worth region. These projects highlight Pete’s ability to deliver complex, large-scale developments that combine clean energy and digital infrastructure at scale.
