About
I'm Jonathan Nelson, founder of Cascadia Community Energy. Born in
Portland and raised in Wilsonville, I'm excited for the opportunity to
expand customer choice for clean energy in my home state with
Community Solar! A little about me:
• My maternal
grandmother was a poet and the first woman mayor of Milwaukie, Oregon
in the 70's.
• I caught my first king salmon bobber fishing with
my dad on the Wilson River when I was 4 years old. It was 45 pounds
and broke the pole.
• I played football and lacrosse at
Wilsonville High School and was part of the team that won
Wilsonville's first OSAA football championship at Autzen Stadium in
2004.
• I've been developing community-scale solar projects in
Oregon since 2017.
At Cascadia Community Energy, our
mission is to make solar energy easy, affordable, and accessible for
all. We connect households and businesses with locally-developed
community solar projects, empowering you with savings and a reduced
environmental footprint. All without the hassle of rooftop
installations or steep upfront costs.
Rooted in the
belief that sustainable change starts close to home, our mission is to
bring you local, clean energy at discounts only solar can provide. You
save money, and together we build a more resilient and energy diverse
system.
Join us in harnessing local power today,
building a bright future, one community solar subscription at a
time.
