Tim Kim Discusses the Renewable Energy Industry, Veteran Careers, & How Companies Use Power Purchase Agreements to Meet Environmental Goals

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Tim Kim, CEO of ibV Energy Partners and its direct affiliated companies. Before founding ibV Energy, Tim led closings on M&A transactions in the US and globally. ibV Energy Partners LLC is a privately held company based in Miami and direct investors and developers of large-scale solar and storage power plants across the US. Their customers include investor-owned utilities, power agencies, corporates, and municipalities engaged in procuring grid-connected clean energy. ibV was founded by a group of US military veterans.

Listen as Kaitlyn and Tim explain what Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are, how they work, and why more companies are bypassing utilities to work directly with developers to realize their ESG goals. They also explore the ESG-related risks of solar panels and the sourcing of minerals.

Tim is a proud veteran of the US Navy, and his military background and dedication to public service are driving forces for his life’s work. He shares his perspectives on why veterans should consider careers in the renewable energy industry and how their military skillsets are assets to this industry.
