Utility Owned Generation

In today’s regulatory environment, electric utilities face many challenges in delivering electricity to their customers. We can help overcome those obstacles by working with utilities to develop distributed generation resources. We coordinate with utilities and customers to identify and develop cost-effective generation sites. More than a hundred years ago, we were first exposed to the power of electricity. Large central power plants were built; high voltage electric lines were run around the country, and millions of homes and businesses were connected to the grid.

• Energy infrastructure as we know it is changing.
• Electric energy is transforming from a centralized system to a distributed one - with the opportunity to generate power for your communities where they need it: at their facilities.
• Customers expect a lot from their utilities.
• Now with Brightergy, you can bring them a diversified power portfolio that incorporates renewable sources.

Brightergy’s Utility-Owned DG Program

1. A rate-based program - owned and controlled by you - that allows you to recover your costs just like any other generation project
2. A rooftop solar energy program built at utility-scale: 10 - 500 MW
3. Build relationships and PR. Offer a clean source of power, generated at their facilities, alongside a standards-correlated curriculum built to integrate with their energy projects.
