Our story
Gary Farha and Dilip Kamat founded CustomerFirst Renewables in 2010. As long-time energy practice leaders at McKinsey & Company, they knew that large energy buyers were given little choice and struggled to capture the social, environmental, and economic value of renewables. CFR was designed to operate outside the existing paradigm, giving clients product offerings that were different from what had been available before.
Our Values

Client-first mindset
As the first renewables advisory service firm focused solely on end-users, we provide unbiased, fact-based analysis and support that is tailored to our clients’ individual needs.
-
Ethics beyond reproach
We are privately held and fully independent, allowing for objective, transparent support that is not financially beholden to any project, product, developer, or utility.
-
Innovate the industry
We design tailored solutions for our clients, pushing the envelope on what has been done before.
-
Be the best team
Our diverse team of passionate and driven individuals offers world-class end-to-end expertise on all dimensions of the renewables value chain.
-
Keep getting better
We adapt our solutions to the rapidly changing market, rather than settle on a “one size fits all” solution.
