Management bios
Paul W. Holland, P.E. – Founder, President & CEO
As founder, President and CEO of Paul Holland & Associates (PHA) and Energy Architects, Paul has built an engineering-based organization that has brought its clients millions of dollars of utility-related savings. Since the early 1980’s, he has held numerous energy and utility related seminars for major industrial clients throughout the United States. During his years working in the utility industry with large industrial customers, he realized that most company’s lacked the expertise they needed to properly represent their interests in negotiating with their utility providers. To meet industry’s need for an advocate, he founded PHA and Energy Architects in 1981. As a professional engineer and previous utility insider, he and his staff have the expertise and experience to create significant savings for each of their clients.
