About

Citizens Energy Corporation's first steps into solar came in 1980 with pilot projects in early stage residential solar technology. In 2010, Citizens once again picked up the mantle to become a national leader in solar development.

Citizens Energy develops, finances, constructs, owns and operates utility-scale, ground-mounted projects that generate green energy while producing positive local impacts.

Comprised of seven solar arrays, six in Massachusetts and one in New York, the innovative program provides over 20 megawatts of affordable green energy to families in need across both states. Subscribers unlock access to previously unaffordable green energy while also saving $300 to $400 each year.

Imperial Valley Solar

Citizens Energy owns and operates the largest low-income community solar project in the country. The 30-megawatt array in Imperial Valley, California, provides discount electricity to 12,000 low-income families each year. The 200-acre, 107,000-panel installation fulfills a key part of Citizens Energy’s mission to develop cutting-edge green technologies that make the renewable energy revolution accessible for all.

A pioneer in brownfield redevelopment

Citizens Energy specializes in building ground-mounted solar projects on environmentally contaminated sites to turn brownfields into productive assets that generate revenue for their owners.

In our site-selection process, we give preference to landfills, brownfields and Superfund sites so that we can transform blighted wastelands into productive energy developments. We have transformed 15 sites, including two EPA Superfund sites, into clean energy projects that directly benefit the local communities impacted by these formerly polluted plots.
