Welcome to CleanSource Energy Partners!

Since February 2012, CleanSource Energy Partners (CSEP) has attained incredible success in early stage project development.   With recent government surveys confirming abundant geothermal resources, and letters of intent from off-take parties, we are moving quickly to the next critical phase of project development.

Opportunities include hundreds of megawatts of geothermal energy development.  However, our expertise in creating microgrid, or stand alone utilities that can provide community self sufficiency, is also under discussion.  CSEP's Managing Director Terry Mohn knows a thing or two about this subject: as CEO of General Microgrids, Terry is a global expert on development of self contained, sustainable utility systems and serves as Chairman of the United Nations Foundation MicroGrid Work Group (58 nation state participation).
 
At CSEP we are far enough advanced on overseas projects that we've begun to entertain investor interest in developing these project.  Each investor has an opportunity to join with CSEP in bringing critically needed power to ever-expanding East African urban and rural communities.

Our success in such a short amount of time is owed to the professional experience of our management team -- representing decades of utility and energy / project development experience.  This in addition to our team in places like Kenya and Uganda. 

[Both Mark and Terry served in different capacities for many years at Sempra Energy.  Mark also serves as General Microgrid's Chief Operating Officer.]

In the U.S., we are working in partnership with project developers to deliver hundreds of megawatts of geothermal power to accessible and available transmission systems, utilizing low-temperature geothermal technologies.  We look forward to announcing that project soon, and it's potential to provide needed renewable energy to regional utilities. 

In addition to the value our team brings in developing geothermal-based power projects, and applying microgrid principles where there is a need and a desire by the host community, CSEP includes experts in sustainable building design.  Our fundamental premise is that true sustainability begins "from the ground up".  In addition to generating power using low temperature geothermal power, CSEP brings expertise in the use of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems for heating and cooling buildings.

GSHP systems are considered by the U.S. Department of Energy as "the most efficient technology available" today.  For more information on GSHP, including project financing, feel free to give us a call.



We look forward to doing great things for those who are truly in need of clean, reliable power.  Our sweet spot is in those areas where there is a need for community based power with favorable geothermal resource availability.  As we are always interested in developing relationships with people and companies that share our vision, we welcome hearing from you.
