MD Energy Advisors is excited to have Greg Farley join the team as our Director of Strategic Energy Programs. In this role, Greg runs MDEA's major energy programs for federal agencies, colleges, and universities, and is a primary contact for utility partners, energy supply companies (ESCOs), federal stakeholders, and higher education clients. Greg has more than 20 years of sustainability experience and helps clients successfully navigate energy, utility, and efficiency projects from start to finish.

In this senior, public-facing position, Greg blends program leadership, relationship management, and strategic growth across day-to-day utility- and ESCO-driven programs, while ensuring disciplined project execution yields repeatable, scalable delivery models. Also, as part of MDEA’s broader higher-education portfolio, he supports continued work with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) alongside other public and private institutions, reflecting MDEA’s long-standing commitment to mission-aligned, high-quality energy solutions. Before coming to MDEA, Greg served as the Director of University Sustainability at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Previously, he was Director of Sustainability for Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, and both Professor of Biology and sustainability leader for Chesapeake College in Wye Mills, MD.  He is uniquely well-suited to understand the challenges facing higher education facilities.
