About us.


Renewable Energy Partners was founded by North Minneapolis resident Jamez Staples in 2013, the year Minnesota passed major legislation setting goals for solar energy in the state. We saw an opportunity to contribute to the global transition to a Clean Energy Economy while also creating economic opportunities for more people and organizations to benefit from clean energy investments. As the Covid pandemic faded and federal incentives for clean energy expanded, REP became one of the fastest-growing solar development firms in our region.
