Seth Baruch is responsible for energy and utilities at Kaiser Permanente, particularly KP’s on-site and off-site renewable energy programs. KP’s renewable program has installed more than 70 MW of solar generation 122 at hospitals and medical office buildings. In addition, Kaiser Permanente is contracting to buy the energy output of more than 330 MW of off-site wind and solar projects in and around California. These initiatives are a large part of KP’s overall strategy to get to carbon neutrality, which was achieved in 2020. Seth also manages the fuel cell program as well as the battery storage and EV charger programs. He also helped implement a microgrid installation at KP's Richmond Medical Center, the first renewable microgrid in the State of California. A second microgrid project at the Ontario Medical Center was recently commissioned.
