In this episode, host Thomas Obermeier sits down with Silicon Ranch co-founders Reagan Farr, CEO and President, and Matt Kisber, Chairman of the Board. Since starting the company together with former Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen in 2011 in Nashville, TN, they have grown the utility-scale solar owner and operator into one of the largest independent power producers in the United States.
In this episode, they discuss Silicon Ranch's origin and unique struggles as a solar company in the Southeast in the early 2010s, their recent $775mm new equity capital raise, the value of strong stakeholder partnerships in times of crises, as well as how regenerative land management practices and solar energy can be mutually beneficial.
