Enlight Renewable Energy’s US subsidiary Clenera has announced a planned leadership change.
Jared McKee (pictured), currently serving as chief commercial officer, will become the chief executive from 1 October 2025.
He will replace Adam Pishl, Clenera’s chief executive and co-founder, who will step into the new role of vice chair of the company’s board.
McKee’s near decade of leadership roles at Clenera has included key contributions to the company’s development momentum. In his role as chief commercial officer, McKee also led cross-functional teams around execution initiatives guiding Clenera’s growth trajectory.
Meanwhile, Pishl has led Clenera through its evolution from a founder-led developer into an integrated development platform and independent power producer.
In his new position as vice chair and advisor to the executive team, Pishl will continue to support the company’s strategic direction.
“One of my greatest accomplishments has been assembling a team of exceptional professionals and building the culture, processes, and structure to support their talents,” said Pishl. “Clenera’s success is a direct reflection of that work.
“Jared is one of many standout leaders who have grown within the organisation. I’ve watched his development over the years – he is a strong, thoughtful leader, a strategic thinker, and deeply committed to Clenera’s mission.
“I’m excited to see him take on this new role and confident that he, along with the broader Clenera team, will continue to drive our growth strategy forward. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to remain part of the Clenera and Enlight family as we continue to build on a strong foundation and deliver reliable, affordable clean energy to communities across the country.”
As a subsidiary of Enlight, Clenera develops and operates utility-scale solar farms and energy storage facilities throughout the United States.
Enlight chief executive Gilad Yavetz said: “Adam has played a foundational role in Clenera’s evolution and will continue supporting its long-term growth as vice chair of the board.
“We’re grateful for his years of leadership and dedication, both as CEO and since Clenera’s early days. His strategic discipline and focus on team building helped establish the strong platform we’re building on today.
“Jared’s appointment reflects the strength and continuity of Clenera’s leadership. He brings nearly a decade of experience within the company, a clear strategic vision, and a strong track record of execution. I’m confident in his leadership and look forward to working closely with him and the broader team as we continue advancing our ambitious plans across North America.”
