Silicon Ranch Corporation

"They found that the principals at the Denmark-based company — now the newest investor in Nashville's homegrown solar-power startup that's on a sizzling growth streak — have uncannily similar values and views on the potential for renewable energy in America." Great read by Adam Sichko (Nashville Business Journal) on Silicon Ranch's new partnership with AIP Management and how we're scaling up our operations to continue supporting healthier, stronger, and more resilient communities across the United States. #MakingSolarDoMore

Great to see our co-founder Governor Philip Bredesen feature on the cover of the Nashville Post's Leaders 2025 issue. As the Nashville Post celebrates 25 years in publication, their team has taken this opportunity to highlight the people who have had the greatest impact on our home city over the past 25 years. As Nicolle Praino writes in the magazine's "25 Leaders for 25 Years list," in addition to "his mayoral terms spanning 1991 to 1999," during which "he recruited the Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Predators to make the city a premier pro-sports destination" and "expanded the library and parks system and funded the opening of several new public schools," Governor Bredesen is "an entrepreneur in the health care and technology sectors, serving as the founding chairman of Clearloop and Silicon Ranch, the latter being one of the largest independent energy producers in the country." The article goes on to observe that "even acknowledging what he did in the 2000s as the 48th governor of Tennessee is enough to consider Bredesen one of the top influences in Nashville. Bredesen is praised for his fiscal management, leading the state through the 2008 recession and earning a AAA bond rating just two years later. He also established a statewide pre-K program and increased teacher salaries. Bredesen is credited with redesigning the TennCare health insurance model and establishing a children’s health insurance program. Under his tenure, the state recruited Volkswagen’s manufacturing operations and Nissan Motor Corporation’s North American headquarters and invested millions of federal dollars into jobs for renewable power production." Everyone at Silicon Ranch is proud of the impact that Governor Bredesen continues to make on our company, our home city, and our state. #MakingSolarDoMore #Leadership
