Why work with us?
Proteus Power was formed in 2021 by industry veterans to develop renewable energy projects across the United States and Canada in order to help accelerate the transition to a cleaner energy future. We are an experienced team, having developed GWs of renewables to date, and our expertise covers the development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects, with a focus on solar and battery storage.
We value landowners as our most important stakeholders and partners. We believe that a long-term relationship can only be successful with full transparency and alignment on the final objective: developing successful projects.
Proteus not only offers competitive rates for the use of land, but we also include several provisions in our agreements that are beneficial to landowners:
- We allow landowners to continue conducting operations until the day construction commences. Certain farming and grazing activities can even continue during operations.
- We restore the property to its preexisting condition at the end of the project life.
- We pay for any increase in property taxes due to the solar project.
- We are available 24/7 and offer transparent communication channels throughout the development, construction and operation process.
- We work with the most respected environmental consultants in the industry to ensure that our projects do not harm the property or the surrounding environment.
In addition to a clean and sustainable source of energy, we view each project as an opportunity to bring economic growth to local communities. Solar projects create numerous construction and maintenance jobs. Local governments and schools also benefit from increased tax revenues from our projects. We believe the passive income that our projects generate for landowners will help secure their financial future while keeping the land in the family for generations to come.
