Nelnet Renewable Energy is proud to be a Nelnet company. Founded over 45 years ago, Nelnet is a publicly traded (NYSE: NNI), investment-grade company offering a diverse set of solutions across a wide range of markets and industries. Our involvement in renewable energy began in 2018 with a commitment to fund over $142 million for the building of solar energy projects via tax equity financing. Since then, our commitment grew, leading us to develop a new brand, Nelnet Renewable Energy, offering a range of renewable energy solutions. In 2022, we acquired Midwest-based engineering, procurement, and construction firm GRNE Solar, enabling us to offer commercial and small utility-scale installation services.
The Manager of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs will track and analyze active legislation and regulations impacting the solar industry in our operational states and potential new markets. This role involves engagement with utilities, legislative bodies, and para-government organizations to understand and influence policies affecting the renewable energy sector. It also involves staying abreast of new developments in regulations and incentives impacting solar or solar-adjacent technologies.
