MP2 Energy | The Woodlands, Texas

As Chairman of MP2 Energy, Jeff has over 22 years of experience in the Independent Power industry with a wealth of expertise in the areas of Project Development, Project Finance, IPO’s, Structured Finance, Demand Side Management Structured Transactions, Power Plant Operations, Asset Management Origination, Wholesale Origination, Retail Energy, and SEC Reporting.

Prior to co-founding MP2 Energy, Jeff was a Sr. Vice-President at Lehman Brothers and was responsible for originating a substantial portion of Lehman’s ERCOT based Asset Management book. Prior to Lehman, he was one of the principals and founders of Mpower Energy Services LP and Mpower Retail Energy LP, both of which were ultimately sold to Lehman Brothers. Mpower was the largest independent (non-utility affiliated) Retail Electric Provider in the US. Prior to Mpower, Jeff spent two years in Austin representing Dynegy’s commercial interests in the development of the ERCOT Protocols (the rules of the deregulated power market) and directed Dynegy’s teams that built the wholesale and retail systems for Dynegy deregulated ERCOT business. Jeff saw the opportunity to more fully utilize the Dynegy systems and co-founded Dynegy’s third-party asset optimization business. Prior to ERCOT, he was the business manager for four cogeneration plants in California and Nevada. This experience provided invaluable insight into aero-derivative and Frame based plant operations and optimization side of the power generation business. Earlier in his career, Jeff developed and financed the Indian Queens Project – Destec Energy’s first international merchant power plant (London, England). Prior to that assignment he was based in Paris and co-developed Destec’s largest IPP (400MW) the Terneuzen Project in The Netherlands. Jeff began his career with Deloitte and it was his work on then Deloitte’s largest independent power producer that led him into the power business.

Jeff’s vision for MP2 Energy is to leverage a uniquely strong team, effectively partner with entities that have assets to monetize and use our insight, experience and talent to structure transactions that capture market inefficiency. While MP2 is actively developing a spectrum of generation assets, we are particularly interested in working with strategic partners in the renewable energy space.

Jeff holds a BBA in Finance and BBA in Accounting from Texas A&M University and was previously a CPA.
