OUR TEAM

Peter Harsy

Peter founded Madison Street Energy (“MSE”) in order to apply optimal techniques learned by experience to acquire long term lease income streams from solar, storage and wind project leases. Peter’s responsibilities range from maintaining MSE’s business operations in addition to securing sources of lease acquisition opportunities. Before this current venture, Peter bootstrapped the startup of a wind lease acquisition business  (“Wind Lease Business”) which he successfully grew to the point it was acquired by a large private equity infrastructure fund.

Prior to the Wind Lease Business, Peter was part of the original management team that started a wind and solar development company known as Lincoln Clean Energy (LCE). As LCE’s general counsel, Peter helped grow the company from its initial startup phase to its initial sale to I Squared Capital who funded LCE’s growth until LCE was ultimately sold for $580mm to the Danish multinational energy company Ørsted A/S.

Peter received his bachelor’s degree from the University of San Diego and his juris doctorate from DePaul University’s College of Law.
