Boston-based independent power producer (IPP) Kearsarge Energy has finalized a portfolio of standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS), ground-mounted solar, and co-located solar-plus-storage projects. The 2025 deployment spans multiple northeastern states including Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Maryland, and New Hampshire. The portfolio features public-private partnerships alongside private developments on landfills, carports, rooftops, and brownfield sites.
As a full-scope asset manager, Kearsarge owns and operates its entire energy portfolio, occasionally purchasing the underlying land. The company is expanding its geographic footprint nationally, with 2026 pipeline commissions slated for Minnesota, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, alongside its core northeastern markets.
Several projects anchor the company’s recent 2025 deployment:
“It was a pleasure to work closely with our multiple battery technology, solar, finance, and construction partners, as well as municipalities across the Eastern US, to continue to extend our leadership in the Northeast by bringing nearly 90 MW of renewable energy online to help manage demand and promote energy affordability,” said Andrew Bernstein, managing partner of Kearsarge Energy. “2026 is proving to be just as exciting as we build 20 more projects across the country, leveraging our development, finance and technology expertise to help public and private enterprises meet their unprecedented energy needs.”
With a reported track record of 300 MW and $600 million in solar and storage assets developed since 2011, Kearsarge currently manages a $900 million, 400 MW national project pipeline.
