Why Chipmunk Energy?
Chipmunks are masters at distributed energy storage, stockpiling hundreds of acorns for times when energy sources are scarce. Today, clean, resilient, and profitable companies can realize huge benefits by borrowing a page from the Chipmunk’s playbook and incorporating distributed energy storage into their operations.
Unlocking Opportunities
Businesses today face a changing power market. Demand is surging. Our aging electric grid requires expensive upgrades. And the way power is generated is changing. In this evolving landscape, large power consumers are experiencing price increases and reliability challenges. But change also drives innovation. Over the last decade, the cost of solar generation has fallen over 90%. And today, batteries are following the same declining cost curve. Meanwhile, new state and federal incentives are reducing capital costs even further while also creating new revenue opportunities.
Chipmunk Energy was formed to help commercial and industrial power users take advantage of these changes. By developing, owning, and operating DERs in partnership with businesses, Chipmunk Energy gives companies the flexibility to be a buyer, seller, or self-consumer of energy. Because when you own DERs, price increases and price volatility go from being problems to opportunities.
$68 Billion Market
Driven by generous incentives and concern over aging energy infrastructure, capital expenditures on Distributed Energy Resources in the U.S. are expected to double between 2022 and 2027 to roughly $68 billion per year.
75% of New Capacity
By 2040, over 75% of new electricity capacity additions are projected to come from distributed energy resources, including rooftop solar, battery storage, and EV charging infrastructure.
89% Cost Reduction
The cost of lithium-ion battery storage has dropped roughly 89% since 2010, making on-site energy storage more affordable than ever.
