About Resilient Renewables

In 2024, Andrew Seelaus founded Resilient Renewables with a simple goal: “To use my education, experience, and connections to affect positive change in the world, while also providing a good quality of life for me, my family, and those who work with me.” In the midst of a global transition, the energy industry is one of the most exciting and dynamic areas to make that difference. With over a decade of developing energy and infrastructure projects globally, Andrew has seen an acute need for technical and commercial support in the space between the residential industry and utility-scale mega projects. Therefore, the Resilient Renewables team has begun building a company that solves real energy challenges in ways that make sense for our clients. 

Resilient Renewables’ mission is to enable all organizations, large and small, to access the technical solutions that are driving our global energy transition, and offer the tools to implement those solutions at a practical pace.

Today, Resilient Renewables works with a wide array of clients that need help taking their next step toward a clean and secure energy future. We help clients understand their energy options, design a solution that fits their goals, and navigate a complex market to buy and build that solution. 

We are based in Missoula, Montana and serve clients around the globe.
