PORTFOLIO
We develop energy with community first in mind.
Communities
Communities choose OneEnergy because we are more than a clean energy company. We are a good neighbor.
Our projects are designed and operated to provide clean energy choices to local consumers and communities while aligning with local community aesthetics and long-term development plans. We create active pollinator habitats in our project areas by sowing and maintaining native pollinator groundcover.
Conscientious Design
Communities value our conscientious design standards. These standards minimize the use of concrete and gravel and contribute to project site health by correcting pre-existing erosion issues, and simplify the decommissioning process, restoring sites ready for their previous land use.
Trusted Neighbor
OneEnergy designs each project with our future neighbors in mind. Our clean energy projects are designed with a minimal project footprint. Neighboring farms and communities welcome OneEnergy because our projects generate clean energy with no noise, lighting or glare, and meet or exceed all local permitting agency requirements.
Clean Energy Savings
Our projects provide communities with locally generated, low-cost clean energy at predictable rates for the life of the project, offsetting the demand for conventional power sources and its resulting carbon pollution.
Community Engagement
With OneEnergy, every clean energy project starts with engaging the local community.
Communities appreciate our proactive, early engagement. With over 90 projects in operation, our team is well-verse in the multifaceted benefits of our projects for communities, such as environmental sustainability, economic development, and community investment. Working closely with each community from the very beginning also allows us to hear community input and concerns, and most importantly, to build valuable relationships with local stakeholders.
That’s why the first step we take with each project is meeting with the local community. We begin with informational meetings with the community planning agency. We then invite community representatives, neighbors, and local utilities to engage in the clean energy project development process. This process for dialogue and exchange of ideas is a cornerstone of our commitment to being a good neighbor.
Community Benefits
Our clean energy projects improve pollinator habitat, protect wetlands, and decrease stormwater runoff.
Where feasible, our design team integrates dual-use design to maximize the agricultural and landscape benefits of the project, such as grazing and pollinator habitat plantings. Water quality benefits from improved ground filtration, and soil quality from reduced runoff. Pollinator populations including native bees, birds, and butterflies flourish in the acres of pollinator habitat we plant and maintain for the life of the project. Our pollinator habitats can also improve yields on nearby pollinator-dependent crops, including soybeans, fruits and many vegetables.
