Solar project management company Common Energy has announced that its portfolio of community solar and storage arrays has passed the 1 GW mark, as of Nov. 12.
The New York City-based energy firm currently has more than 700 million kWh of renewable energy contributing to the American energy grid on a yearly basis, as well as more than 500 MW of projects already live and generating renewable energy. The company’s portfolio spans more than 280 solar projects across 11 states, as well as Washington, D.C.
“I’d like to thank our developer, utility and subscriber partners for their trust and support over the years,” says Richard Keiser, founder and CEO of Common Energy. “Together, we’ve built a platform of renewable energy assets and software that provides 700 million kWh of clean electricity to the grid annually, and helps thousands of households save money by making energy more affordable.”
As of November 2026, the company is connected to 22 of the largest utilities in the U.S., including Midwest-based Commonwealth Edison and Ameren, as well as Baltimore Gas & Electric, among others. Its projects generate renewable energy, connecting it directly to the electrical grid with no offtake.
Since its founding in 2017, Common Energy has expanded to states across the country as more and more community solar-forward legislation became the standard. Now, the firm serves a group of 15 developer clients and delivers bill savings to more than 5,000 low-income households across the U.S.
The company says it currently provides aggregate monthly bill savings of about $650,000 to more than 26,000 electrical utility accounts, an average of $25 per account per month.
“From managing over 180 live projects, Common Energy’s team has built deep expertise in community solar asset management,” says Christophe Charpentier, COO of Common Energy. “Our platform and processes enable our partners to maximize the value of their assets.”
The New York energy company’s platform provides “a full suite of tools” for managing community solar projects. These include subscription levels, project and subscriber collection performance, utility integration, and financial reporting.
