Arevon Energy, Inc. has announced the appointment of Justin Johnson as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective March 16, 2026. Johnson previously served as the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) and had been acting as interim CEO since February 2026. The company also stated that a successor for the COO position will be named at a later date.
In an official statement, the Board of Directors expressed strong support for Johnson’s leadership. They noted that he has played a key role in transforming Arevon into a leading independent power producer in the United States. His ability to manage operations effectively, execute large-scale projects with discipline, and apply deep industry knowledge has positioned him well to lead the company forward. The Board emphasized its confidence in his ability to drive Arevon’s long-term strategy and maintain strong business performance.
Johnson brings more than 20 years of experience in energy development, infrastructure operations, and project execution. During his time as COO, he oversaw several critical functions within the company, including engineering, procurement, construction, asset management, operations, and risk management. He also contributed significantly to shaping the company’s growth strategy and expanding its energy portfolio. Under his leadership, Arevon has developed into a major national platform, currently owning and operating more than 6 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across 18 states.
Commenting on his appointment, Johnson said that since the company’s founding, its mission has been to build and operate energy infrastructure at scale. He highlighted the growing demand for electricity across the United States and the increasing importance of reliable energy systems. He added that he is honored to lead the organization as it continues to develop solar and energy storage projects that support grid reliability, meet rising energy needs, and contribute to stronger local communities.
Before joining Arevon, Johnson began his career at Horizon Wind Energy, where he played an important role in expanding the company from a single operational project into one of the world’s largest wind energy operators after its acquisition by EDP Renewables. Earlier in his career, he served for seven years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, working in roles related to flight test engineering and project management. He holds a Master of Business Administration from Babson College and is also a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Arevon enters this new phase with strong momentum and a growing development pipeline. In 2025, the company commissioned more than 1.7 GW of new solar and energy storage capacity and successfully raised $2.3 billion in project financing. It also achieved high recognition in the GRESB ESG Benchmark Assessment, ranking first in the Americas and third globally, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and responsible energy development. In addition, Arevon has received multiple Top Workplaces Awards in recent years, highlighting its positive work environment.
At present, the company has around 600 megawatts (MW) of projects under construction and a development pipeline exceeding 7 GW across the country. One of its recent milestones includes the launch of operations at the 430 MW Kelso Solar Project in Missouri, one of the largest solar facilities in the state. These achievements reinforce Arevon’s position as a key player in advancing a more reliable and resilient energy future in the United States.
