Helping Businesses Take Control of their Energy Future
Rising energy costs and evolving state and federal policies create both risks and opportunities for commercial and industrial power users. Chipmunk Energy partners with businesses so they can realize the benefits of owning behind-the-meter solar, storage, and charging assets while avoiding the hassle of developing and operating the assets themselves.
The Future of Energy is Distributed—And It’s Profitable for Your Business
Distributed energy resources (DERs) – like behind-the-meter batteries, solar arrays, and EV chargers – help companies cut energy costs, increase resilience, and even generate new revenue. But most companies don’t have the time or expertise to deploy and manage DERs themselves. That’s where Chipmunk Energy comes in.
A Smarter Approach To DERs
Most DER solutions present a host business with a choice: be a customer or an owner. Neither option by itself is ideal. The former sacrifices the financial benefits of ownership while the latter places the development and operational burden on the host business. Chipmunk Energy offers a third option that combines the benefits of ownership with the ease of being a customer.
