National Sales Director

Peter Randolph

VP of Business Development

Peter has been in the Energy Services industry for over 30 years having worked for several ESCO’s along the way. During his career, he has been involved in many aspects of the business including several start-ups in the industry. Ten years ago, he began working for Jaykal LED Solutions, a fledgling LED lighting manufacturer as it’s VP of Channel Sales. Today, Jaykal is well recognized in the ESCO space as a leader with its products and services. Prior to Jaykal, Peter led the efforts of ConEdison Solutions (CES) to enhance their efforts in gaining more traction in the Federal ESPC space. CES went on to win many large VA hospital, DoD military installation, and other Federal projects including large USPS mail processing facilities. Years earlier, he was selected to represent a partnership in FPL Services to develop an unregulated ESCO in Florida. This was a ground up effort intended to have very little up-front capital to grow, and today, FPL Services is still a viable and growing entity. Prior to FPL Services, Peter was an early hire for start-up Coneco Inc. Peter helped build the company to the point it was eventually purchased by Boston Edison, now Eversource. Peter was honorably discharged from the US Navy in the 1980’s. Today, he resides in Florida, is married and enjoys golfing, fishing, cooking, and spending time with his wife, their children and grandchildren.
