Description
Recurrent Energy is a leading solar project developer and generating company providing clean electricity to utilities and large energy users. We develop, build, finance and operate solar power systems. We market renewable power to our customers in North America, Europe, and emerging markets at competitive rates via Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) or Feed-in Tariffs (FiT).
Our vision is to use proven solar technology to meet rising energy demand with a fleet of clean power plants located right where they're needed most. With a project pipeline of 2 GW, we're well on our way to achieving that vision.
Recurrent Energy has successfully differentiated itself through its market entry strategy focused on distributed-scale projects, 2 MW - 20 MW solar generating plants that are connected to existing utility distribution networks in areas of high demand. Distributed-scale projects are faster to interconnect and faster to permit. The net result is that we can deliver the benefits of solar sooner, an important selling point to utilities and regulators.
