In the U.S., Jegede moved from small-scale projects to some of the nation’s largest solar and battery storage systems (BESS). As a senior project engineer, he has worked on more than 2 gigawatts of solar power and 1.5 gigawatt-hours of storage.
He has led the development of multiple large-scale renewable energy initiatives for different industries , including photovoltaic systems ranging from approximately 115 MW to 300 MW, some paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS) up to 400 MWh. His portfolio spans both hybrid and standalone PV and BESS projects, totaling over 580 MW of solar capacity and 620 MWh of energy storage. Each project not only added renewable energy capacity but also delivered cleaner and more reliable power to communities.
His work encompasses everything from substation design to coordinating with utilities and ISOs, such as ERCOT, CAISO, PJM, ISO-NE,NYISO and MISO. Success, he believes, depends as much on adaptability and teamwork as on technical skill.
