PORTFOLIO
We develop energy responsibly.
Landowners
Every OneEnergy project begins and ends with transparent and supportive communication between the landowner and our team.
We are your partner from the first day of development through the last day of decommissioning.
Why Landowners Choose OneEnergy
Our relationships with landowners begin with a shared vision of what a solar energy project can be.
Landowners choose OneEnergy because our team takes the time to ensure landowners fully understand both the site requirements and potential benefits of a clean energy project on their land for them and their communities. They appreciate our experience and approach, refined through building and operating 90+ projects across 13 states.
Landowners reap significant benefits through economic rewards for both themselves and their communities, confidence in long-term land preservation through our careful design approach and commitment land stewardship that can include expanding pollinator habitats and incorporating sheep grazing where feasible.
Relationships Built on Trust
Landowners value our team’s approach to building strong relationships with them, anchored by trust, open communication, and mutual support. With our One Partner approach, we put in the long hours we know are required to maintain these from the first day of project development to the last day of decommissioning.
Responsibility
With over 4,900 acres of clean projects in operation, we are deeply aware of our responsibility to be worthy stewards of the land and honor our commitments to landowners throughout the project lifecycle. We design, build, and operate each project with elements that preserve the landscape for the landowner and reduce visual impacts, protecting the beauty of the surrounding area for both landowners and their neighbors.
Full Lifecycle Planning
We care about what happens to the land during solar project operations and at the end of its lifespan. Using our 15 years of experience developing and operating clean energy projects, we begin with the end in mind and ensure operations and decommissioning are as simple as possible, giving landowners clear expectations and ongoing communication.
Land Characteristics
for a Solar Farm
For solar farms, our team is seeking land that is reasonably flat, clear of major wetlands or water features, and close to transmission lines. Additional preferred characteristics include a lack dense tree canopy and sensitive wildlife habitat.
Decommissioning Explained
OneEnergy is there for the full project lifecycle, including overseeing full decommissioning and removal at the end of the project term. This includes removing all solar panels and equipment and completing any necessary land restoration. Following decommissioning, the land is returned to the landowner restored and ready for its next use.
Case Studies
“Our community solar partnership allows us to share the benefits of solar energy with our rural neighbors, advancing our mission to care for the people and farms we work with, as well as our planet. Just as ours has done, community-scale solar projects can also create meaningful and good-paying jobs where they are needed most."
– Bob Kirchoff, CEO of Organic Valley
"We are getting paid more than we could if we had a crop there. It’s a win-win for us. We’ve improved what was there, we get to make a little money doing it, and we don’t have to do a lot of work."
- Keith Greshik, Greshik Farms
