Community Energy, Inc

Community Energy, Inc. provides reliable, carbon-free energy including grid-connected solar, wind and storage projects at the scale necessary to meet energy demands of large electric customers, utilities, cities and communities.  Our offsite Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) deliver fixed-price clean electricity at competitive rates for up to 30 years, limiting exposure to market volatility and meeting climate-change and environmental commitments without diverting customer capital and resources. Our projects are designed to meet customer energy demands and sustainability goals within financial budgets.  We are good neighbors in the communities that host our projects. Clean power projects provide consistent long-term revenues to landowners and to local governments. Our projects and construction practices are also consistent with land preservation and family ownership of the land that supports this clean new technology. Our projects are a unique combination of economic development and land preservation delivering benefits without demands for services. We engage openly with our communities and decision makers to assure a favorable result.

History

We were the first to expand wind power beyond extreme regions in the east. We delivered projects to moderate western wind regions, resulting in 700 MW of wind projects across the country. From there, we entered the solar energy market and led the development of scaled-up solar nationally, with 1.9 GW of solar power.  This long history, relative to other players in the renewable energy space, represents our team’s integrity, depth of development experience and proven ability to offer the financial stability necessary to deliver renewable energy systems that meet customer, financing and community requirements. Our trail-blazing history informs our next chapter of energy innovation leadership to meet the demands of the power grid with clean sustainable technology.  Comanche Solar PHOTO CREDIT: Construction Contractor, RES America Construction Inc.

Why We Do It

We will experience incalculable loss and catastrophic damage if we continue to power up today’s world with technology of previous generations.  Cleaning up the electric power sector—which is responsible for just over one-third of carbon emissions—is the first step. Zero-emission renewable generation technologies are proven, economic and ready to go to work. We leverage these innovations with energy projects designed and built to meet our customers’ electric demand and sustainability goals. Our solar projects provide reliable, competitively priced generation to meet the local and global energy challenge.
