Join Us in Driving the Energy Transition

We are Lightsource bp, and we’re on a mission to become a global leader in onshore renewables, anchored by our proven track record in solar development.
For over a decade, we’ve been diversifying the way the world is powered with safe, responsible, and sustainable renewable solutions. Our large-scale solar and energy storage projects help deliver affordable, reliable power while supporting global decarbonisation.

Fully acquired by bp in 2024, Lightsource bp operates under a capital-light model, partnering extensively with third-party debt, structured financing, tax equity, and common equity to bring projects to life.

Our people and projects are at the heart of what we do—and now, we’re looking for your expertise to help us grow our US portfolio.
