Lightsource Renewable Energy has been named as one to watch in 2017 by The Challenger Project, citing our potential to change the criteria of renewables and upend the status quo in the industry.<\/p>\n

The Challenger Project is a platform dedicated to understanding and exploring how a new generation of challenger brands grow and succeed. Challenger brands change the way we see and experience the categories around us, in big and in small ways – exactly what we strive to achieve every day here at Lightsource.<\/p>\n
