01 / EXPLORE
More than a company profile.
A story of people, possibility, and progress.
02 / COMPANY HISTORY
It began with a general store.
And a commitment to the community.
Jacobsen & Leegaard traces its roots back to 1918, when the Leegaard family founded a general store in Roskilde, Denmark, supplying agricultural machinery and colonial goods to the local community.
OUR EVOLUTION
New horizons.
The same
conviction.
Niels Leegaard Rydder developed an interest in clean energy well before renewables became a mainstream cause. In 1984, he relocated to California to lead Micon Wind Turbines, Inc., a new original equipment manufacturer in the wind turbine industry.
As Chairman and CEO of Oak Creek Energy Systems, Rydder helped originate the landmark 2 GW Alta wind energy projects in Mojave, California. He subsequently shifted the company’s primary operations to Mexico, a move that would define its next chapter.
Jacobsen & Leegaard, Inc. launched in 2016, initially headquartered in Escondido, California.
The company relocated its headquarters to Las Vegas, Nevada, while deepening its investment in Mexico as a renewable energy developer across wind, solar, and battery energy storage technologies.
03 / FAMILY COMPANY
Family-owned.
Multidisciplinary.
Long-term.
Like its predecessor, Jacobsen & Leegaard, Inc. remains a family-owned company, led by Niels Leegaard Rydder and Sonja Rydder alongside their Danish-American family of experienced businesspeople.
The team brings together deep expertise across utility-scale renewable energy development, SaaS and technology-focused financial leadership, and startup and venture capital law at a major law firm.
