Nestled in South Dakota’s rugged Black Hills, GenPro Energy Solutions is sparking an energy revolution that’s illuminating more than just the landscape. This homegrown powerhouse is delivering cutting-edge power solutions, forging high-paying careers, and fortifying the region’s infrastructure—proving that innovation can thrive where the plains meet the peaks.
GenPro’s rise is nothing short of meteoric. In 2022, the company posted $18 million in revenue; by 2024, that figure soared to $42.7 million, with projections hitting $100 million in 2025. This growth isn’t just numbers on a ledger—it’s jobs, opportunity, and prosperity. In just 15 months, GenPro doubled its workforce to 100 employees, boosting field operation wages by 20.6% to $42.79 an hour. With a median gross income of $125,755—nearly 80% above Rapid City’s industry average of $23.90/hour—GenPro is rewriting the script on economic possibility for local families.
At its core, GenPro is a talent forge. As the U.S. hungers for skilled energy workers to meet surging demand from industry and tech, the company is training South Dakotans to lead the charge. Through hands-on education and technical upskilling, GenPro is sculpting a workforce ready for the future, cementing the Black Hills as a hub of expertise in a rapidly evolving sector.
Beyond the balance sheet, GenPro powers progress. Its large-scale solar arrays and commercial EPC services—engineering, procurement, and construction—are tackling America’s rising electricity needs head-on. From solar streetlights brightening rural roads to municipal systems slashing energy costs, GenPro’s projects are as practical as they are visionary, blending clean power with community resilience.
Nationally, GenPro shines bright, landing on the Top 500 Solar Contractors list for a decade straight. Yet its heart remains local. South Dakota-native shareholders pour profits back into the region, amplifying the company’s impact. It’s a virtuous cycle: success breeds investment, and investment fuels more success.
What sets GenPro apart? Its people. A culture of excellence—fueled by competitive pay, career growth, and a shared drive to innovate—draws top talent and keeps them pushing boundaries. This ethos powers GenPro’s mission: making clean energy not just accessible, but transformative.
As GenPro scales new heights, its vision holds firm: to energize communities, strengthen infrastructure, and champion sustainability. With record-breaking revenue and a skilled, homegrown workforce, this Black Hills beacon is proving South Dakota’s outsized role in America’s clean energy future—a story of grit, growth, and a brighter tomorrow.
