How Community Ownership Can Save Wind Power

Community ownership may provide the solution for increasing resistance to wind power in the United States. 

Our Initiative

OwnEnergy is the only venture capital-backed Community Wind developer, allowing us to have one of the stronger balance sheets in the segment. We develop projects jointly with a partner from the local community who has the desire to become an energy entrepreneur.   Our partners take an active role in the development and installation process and in return they are provided with a significant ownership stake in the resulting wind farm.

We are proud to boast the best local partners in the business, as well as the most diverse and highest-quality pipelines. All of our projects have local ownership; it’s what makes our business so unique and successful. Don't take our word for it - read our local partners testimonials and found out more about our initiatives.

OwnEnergy's CEO, Jacob Susman, is an advisor to the American Wind Energy Associations Board of Directors and a founding member of the steering committee of the AWEA's Community Wind Working Group.
