Sidney Owens

Founder & Principal

Yellow Dwarf Energy is led by Sidney Owens, a licensed Illinois attorney with five years of experience in renewable energy transactions — the site control, real estate diligence, and project work that takes solar and wind projects from raw land to financing.

That legal and real estate foundation is the company's edge: the diligence most developers outsource is done in-house, with a lawyer's eye, from the very first parcel review.
