Tyler Pommier didn’t plan to become a renewable energy executive. Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he was just a curious kid who liked to take apart computers. “I was always trying to figure out how things worked,” he says. That curiosity didn’t go away. It just got bigger.
Over time, Tyler’s interest shifted from wires and circuits to something even larger—how technology could solve real problems. He started paying attention to climate change, energy systems, and the environmental challenges Louisiana was facing. That’s when the pieces started coming together. “I realised I didn’t want to just work in tech,” he explains. “I wanted to build solutions that could make life better for people.”
Career in Clean Energy and Project Innovation
Today, Tyler Pommier leads clean energy projects that focus on solar, wind, and bioenergy. His work isn’t just technical. It’s deeply human. One of his standout projects was a hybrid energy system near Baton Rouge that combined solar panels with agricultural bioenergy. What started as a simple solar array turned into a full community initiative after Tyler talked with local farmers.
“They mentioned all the organic waste they were dealing with, and it clicked,” he says. “We could build a system that used both sunlight and farm waste. That wasn’t part of the original plan—but it made the project stronger.”
This ability to adapt and expand ideas based on what he hears from others has become one of Tyler’s signatures. He listens, learns, and builds accordingly.
Making Big Ideas Simple
What makes Tyler successful isn’t just that he brings big ideas to life—it’s that he makes those ideas understandable to others. “A lot of energy talk gets lost in jargon,” he says. “If people don’t understand it, they won’t support it.”
Tyler is known for the way he simplifies complex concepts. Whether it’s explaining how solar grids work at a town hall or breaking down emissions reductions for stakeholders, he focuses on clarity. “You don’t need to dumb it down,” he adds. “You just need to meet people where they are.”
That communication skill has helped him lead teams, secure funding, and get communities behind important infrastructure. And it’s helped him gain trust in an industry that’s often seen as out of reach.
Turning Setbacks Into Strategy
Not every idea has gone perfectly. Early in his career, Tyler worked on a project that failed because the team didn’t take enough time to build trust with the local community. “We had the numbers, we had the tech—but we didn’t have the people,” he admits.
That experience changed how he works. Now, he builds in time for community input from the start. “You learn that even the best ideas will fail if people don’t feel ownership,” he says. It’s a lesson that’s shaped everything since—from how he pitches ideas to how he manages timelines.
Staying Grounded While Thinking Ahead
Tyler’s day-to-day work is filled with moving parts: timelines, budgets, permits, and planning meetings. But he still makes time for quiet thinking. He carries a worn-out notebook where he sketches out ideas, writes questions, and logs feedback. “It’s low-tech, but it helps me process things,” he says.
He also keeps up with innovations around the world. Travelling has shown him how other countries approach energy challenges with creativity and grit. “Some of the best ideas come from small communities making the most of what they have,” he says.
To reset, he listens to music—mostly ambient or instrumental—and walks. That habit helps him clear his head and reconnect with the big picture.
A Vision That Keeps Evolving
Tyler Pommier’s success isn’t just in the projects he’s delivered—it’s in the way he builds them. With each initiative, he brings in fresh ideas, listens deeply, and looks for ways to connect innovation with impact.
He believes energy systems should be understood, not just installed. And that belief continues to guide his work across Louisiana and beyond.
“You can’t build the future alone,” he says. “But you can start with an idea that grows when
