A word from our founder
Walter A. Jones, CEP

Implementing either a supply, demand, or renewable energy strategy doesn’t have to be problematic.  What makes it tricky is that many companies require internal approval from multiple decision makers.  What’s good for facilities or engineering is different from the needs of the financial and legal departments.  I’ve navigated this communication and analytical predicament with companies both large and small. 

Let Us help you get energy right!

I have nearly 30 years of experience in the energy sector.  Prior to starting Barranca Energy, I worked as Manager of Electric Supply Procurement for Ameresco, Inc. (2002 -2013).  From 1998 to 2002, I held multiple roles in Business Development & Strategy progressing into a Retail Energy Supply Structuring Manager for Duke Energy. Other experience includes positions at Pacificorp and Southern California Edison.

I have B.A. Degree in Industrial Marketing and Economics from Cal State Fullerton and am a registered AEE Certified Energy Procurement Professional (CEP) . I have provided expert client consulting representing an annual energy spend of $3 billion and have negotiated electric supply in every deregulated U.S. market

I have been a life-long California resident, currently residing in San Clemente with my wife Patti and dog Sydney. My close connections to California are why Barranca Energy is committed to serving California.
