In the Spotlight: Adam Edelen

Happy Monday, friends! Logan here. Bringing you your favorite newsletter, this week highlighting the story of Edelen Renewables Founder and CEO, Adam Edelen.

This is Adam’s second time joining us on the podcast - the first coming almost 3 years ago for episode 138 back in May of 2021. Since our last conversation, Edelen Renewables has made significant strides in advancing renewable energy projects across various states, expanding their portfolio to include projects in 13 states, from Pennsylvania to New Mexico. Their coal to solar project, aimed at revitalizing Appalachia with green energy, has moved from concept to construction, providing new opportunities for regions previously dependent on coal.

In addition to catching up on the latest progress of the company, we also enjoyed hearing Adam’s perspective on the current business climate in KY, how we should approach fostering an entrepreneurial culture in the region, and his views on the ESG movement.

Their work is a bold statement that the future of energy is not just sustainable but also deeply rooted in the communities it serves.

2. The Role Failure Plays in Entrepreneurship: Adam’s story provides example after example of why you have to be willing to fail when starting a business.

3. The Future is Sustainable: Looking ahead, Edelen Renewables is poised to expand its impact, with projects that promise to bring sustainable energy to more areas, setting a precedent for environmental stewardship and economic growth.
