Our Story:
We Love the Planet, Especially
the Utah and Wyoming Parts.
Creative Energies was founded in 2001 by Andy Tyson, Scott Kane, and Toby Schmidt. As former NOLS outdoor educators, they saw the urgent need for renewable energy technology and construction know-how in combating climate change in the Northern Rockies. They started installing solar, wind, and hydro-power systems, consulting, and promoting the transition to renewables in Wyoming and Idaho, and in 2011, in Utah too.
Solar power’s potential outshined other sustainable technologies, so Creative Energies decided to go all in on harnessing the power of the sun! The company has built over 2,500 projects for homes, businesses, non-profits, ranches, communities, states, and the federal government.

We’re on an
Expedition.
Our expedition mentality stems from our founders’ outdoor leadership roots—we thrive on challenges, embrace change, and are always in it for the long haul! We thrive on collaboration, teamwork, and resilience, always supporting each other and learning from our mistakes. With calm determination and a sense of humor, we overcome challenges, achieve our goals, and build a stronger, more united team.
We’re Not Going Anywhere.
For over 20 years, we’ve been part of the Northern Rockies family, bringing the best solar technology to our communities, friends and neighbors. Our dedication to our communities shows in everything we do, from top-quality installations to exceptional customer care.
