Who We Are
Our mission is to facilitate the clean energy transition by creating resilient, unified energy generation systems that benefit all sectors of society.
“By generating, storing, transporting, and consuming localized energy, we are truly giving power back to the community.”
~ Brandon Boucher Co-Founder & CTO, New Paradigm Energy
STANDING ROCK
New Paradigm Energy was born out of the trials, tribulations, and inspirations of the Veterans movement in support of the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. Joshua May (US Army) and Brandon Boucher (US Navy) were part of the effort to lead veterans to Standing Rock and formed a bond through that experience.
RHODE ISLAND
Soon after that, they combined on a joint venture of their companies when they were approached by Rhode Island activist organizations in 2018, and were asked to produce a report and blueprint regarding a transition of the Ocean State that would result in achieving a carbon free economy by 2030. Over the next two years they traveled across the state, spoke with stakeholders, evaluated project sites, presented at community meetings, and produced a detailed blueprint that activist organizations used in order to pressure the state government to move forward on more aggressive climate friendly policies. In the Summer of 2022, based partially on this blueprint, the legislature passed, and the Governor signed, a bill that will bring Rhode Island to carbon neutrality by 2033.
“An efficient, well designed mix of energy production technology, local energy storage, and smart grid technology that respond to system pressures and needs, is the only pathway to a speedy and just transition for the vitally important new energy economy.”
~ Joshua May Co-Founder & CEO, New Paradigm Energy
