About Us
Beltline Energy (“Beltline”) is a Georgia-based energy development firm with over 865 MWs and $808M of project experience developing energy facilities in the Southeastern US.
Founded in direct response to the development of the Georgia solar market, Beltline has quickly assumed a leadership role in the Southeastern energy sector. As an industry leader, Beltline integrates energy projects seamlessly into local communities and delivers reliable, low-cost, renewable power generation to electric utility companies.
Beltline uses technical expertise, strong local relationships, and focused project due diligence to develop, build, and own quality energy and data center projects.
Our energy projects, both supply-side generation and demand-side data centers, expand the tax base of the counties in which we work and provide premium land prices to the landowners who contract with Beltline Energy.
Beltline has successfully developed or originated over 60 energy projects with the Georgia Power Company in over three dozen communities across Georgia. These projects represent over $136M in additional ad valorem property tax over the life of the facility, paid for by the facility.

Ryan is a founding partner of Beltline Energy, a regional leader in renewable energy development which specializes in solar project origination and land acquisition.
Prior to joining Beltline Energy, Ryan developed Georgia’s first Greenfield Distributed Solar facility for the Georgia Power Company (“GPC”) in Upson County. He then worked on the development of the State’s first Utility Scale Solar facility in Mitchell County, GA as part of GPC’s first solar RFP: the Large Scale Solar (“LSS”) initiative.

Ryan is a member of the Georgia Solar Energy Association (GSEA) and a founding member and Chairman of the Georgia Large Scale Solar Association (GLSSA). The GLSSA is a collection of utility scale solar developers, EPC’s, independent power producers, and public utility companies that advocate for the development of a cost efficient Georgia solar market. They leverage the State’s resource advantages in solar insolation, abundant agricultural land, and skilled labor to deliver reliable, low cost solar energy to the GA Ratepayer.
Ryan holds a MBA from Emory’s Goizueta School of Business, a masters degree from Georgia Tech’s Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, and two bachelors degrees from the University of Georgia.
