Intersect Power is laser-focused on scalable, transformative clean energy projects that move the needle on deep decarbonization.
Human activity is accelerating changes to our planet at an unprecedented rate. This urgent reality underscores climate change as one of the most critical issues of our time. For Intersect Power Founder and CEO Sheldon Kimber, these changes are not just abstract statistics; they’re deeply personal, as he has seen the direct impacts on his communities, his children, and their future as the next generation to inherit the planet.
With the consequences of climate change already becoming tangible, we need to find solutions quickly. In our efforts to slow climate change by dramatically cutting global greenhouse gas emissions, clean energy—and specifically, renewable power from solar and wind—are mission-critical.
Enter Intersect Power, a mission-driven company making waves in the clean energy sector. Intersect Power develops, owns, and operates some of the world’s largest clean energy resources. Its mission? Preserving the planet for future generations through low-carbon energy and infrastructure solutions.
By redefining the traditional business model for clean energy companies, Intersect Power’s unique approach allows for more flexibility, innovation, and a highly targeted strategy to decarbonize hard-to-reach parts of the economy. Utilizing high-capacity, low-cost electricity, the company is paving the way for zero-carbon industries like data centers, e-fuels, and direct air capture to reach the scale required to solve the climate crisis.
Over the past two years, Intersect Power has achieved remarkable financial milestones, securing over $5 billion in project financing and raising over $1 billion in corporate equity. These funds have been pivotal in supporting the development of Intersect’s assets, which include 2.2 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity and 2.4 gigawatt-hours of energy storage. Its existing facilities, such as the Lumina Solar + Storage in Texas and the Oberon Solar + Storage in California, demonstrate Intersect’s ability to deliver large-scale, high-impact renewable energy solutions.
All of this growth wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated Intersect team. The team comprises a diverse and passionate group of professionals drawn together by a higher purpose: combating climate change. Intersect prioritizes transparency and authenticity with a focus on “long-run value,” knowing patience and discipline are key to achieving meaningful progress. Intersect fosters an environment of innovation and growth that brings out the best in individuals and the organization as a whole.
And Intersect is just getting started. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, Intersect is laser-focused on the multi-gigaton levers that have the potential to get the planet to net zero emissions without any new breakthroughs. For Sheldon and team, meeting global climate targets is not an aspiration; it’s a requirement.
