experience counts.
Foundation Renewable Energy was founded by renewable energy development, finance, and project management professionals with decades of combined experience across project development, engineering coordination, procurement strategy, construction oversight, and infrastructure delivery.
Our leadership team includes experienced professionals spanning renewable energy development, commercial banking, engineering, project management, and construction execution. Collectively, our team brings more than 60 years of experience supporting commercial, industrial, institutional, nonprofit, and public-sector renewable energy projects.
We believe successful renewable energy projects are created long before construction begins. Our expertise strengthens projects upstream by ensuring feasibility, design, procurement, and execution assumptions are aligned, realistic, and executable under real-world conditions.
From early-stage feasibility through commissioning, we apply disciplined lifecycle coordination to help organizations develop renewable energy assets that are technically sound, financially responsible, and built to perform over the long term
Leadership team
Nancy Ballou — Principal
Nancy Ballou is a senior renewable energy executive with more than two decades of experience spanning renewable energy development. She has held executive leadership roles across renewable energy development, EPC operations, global equipment procurement, and infrastructure businesses—operating at the intersection of project execution, finance, and market development.
Andrew Taft — Principal
Andrew Taft is a renewable energy professional with industry experience dating back to 2007, spanning commercial and industrial solar development, engineering coordination, procurement strategy, and construction execution. His background reflects comprehensive lifecycle involvement—from early feasibility and project structuring through field leadership and commissioning.
Commercial & Industrial Solar ≤ 1.5 MW)
For commercial and industrial organizations, solar energy represents an opportunity to create long-term value through lower operating costs, greater energy predictability, and improved sustainability performance. Realizing those benefits requires more than equipment selection—it requires thoughtful project development.
Foundation Renewable Energy develops C&I solar projects through a disciplined process that aligns feasibility, engineering, interconnection, procurement, financing, and construction planning. By addressing project risks early and maintaining alignment throughout development, we help organizations move from concept to operation with confidence.
market segments.
Foundation Renewable Energy supports a diverse range of commercial, institutional, nonprofit, and public-sector clients. While each market presents unique objectives and constraints, our development approach remains consistent: align feasibility, engineering, procurement, and execution early to create projects that are financeable, constructible, and built to perform.
Public-Sector & Institutional Renewable Energy Development
Public-sector and institutional organizations are increasingly investing in renewable energy as long-term infrastructure—reducing operating costs, strengthening resilience, supporting sustainability goals, and creating lasting value for the communities they serve.
Foundation Renewable Energy develops projects that help transform those objectives into executable plans. Through disciplined development, stakeholder coordination, engineering integration, procurement planning, and construction readiness, we help organizations navigate complex approval environments while advancing projects from concept to implementation.
Mid-Scale Solar (> 1.5 MW)
Mid-scale solar projects require disciplined development long before construction begins. As project scale increases, so does the complexity of site evaluation, utility coordination, interconnection strategy, engineering integration, procurement planning, stakeholder management, and project financing.
Foundation Renewable Energy develops and advances mid-scale solar projects through a structured approach that aligns technical feasibility, commercial viability, and execution readiness from the earliest stages of development. By integrating development strategy with engineering coordination, procurement planning, and construction considerations, we help ensure projects remain financeable, buildable, and positioned for successful long-term performance.
