Utilities

Utilities and Electric Cooperatives

Throughout our history, we have developed a brand that caters to the unique constraints, risks, and regulatory frameworks within which municipal, investor-owned, and cooperative utilities operate.

Our goal is to be a commercial solar company partner serving utilities to help them meet their renewable energy goals and objectives. Through our combination of industry-leading sources of project capital, and a mission based approach to development, we are able to win projects based on price, and deliver them based on reputation and thoughtful development within the communities you serve.

Our team is committed to working through risks upfront for the project, to ensure your organization only commits time and resources to viable projects.

Ways to Work with Encore:

  • Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs):
    We can provide industry leading competitive PPA pricing for utility owned sites, or our company controlled sites within your service territory.
  • Project Development and Construction Agreements (PDCAs):
    We can provide investment ready project development and EPC services to construct a project for direct utility ownership under a risk adjusted milestone payment schedule designed to limit exposure of the utility and its ratepayers from development and construction risk.

From our Utility and Electric Co-op Customers:

“The Encore team delivered this important project for our ratepayers at a total project cost that results in significant long term electric savings for the Village. Encore Renewable Energy was key to the success of Hyde Park Solar, Waterhouse Project. We look forward to working with Encore again.”

Carol Robertson, General Manager
The Village of Hyde Park

“Working in parallel on a similar project for our neighboring public utility in Hyde Park and under an extremely tight timeline, Encore provided the high quality project development and management services necessary to bring our project to reality, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their work.”

Ellen Burt, General Manager
Stowe Electric Department

“Vermont Electrical Cooperative engaged with Encore to complete the development process that the utility initiated for a 1.3MW project in Alburgh, Vermont. In addition, Encore sourced a reputable project financing partner for the utility and oversaw the construction effort for the project. VEC was thrilled with Encore’s work in delivering a successful outcome for this complex and challenging project, which helped ensure our commitment to providing cost effective locally generated renewable energy opportunities for members of our Cooperative. We look forward to working with Encore Renewable Energy again soon.”

Christine Hallquist, CEO
Vermont Electrical Cooperative
