ibV Energy Partners is a leader in the development and operations of integrated solar + storage power plants across the United States.
We are focused on the utility-scale segment and partner with wholesale power providers and corporate entities to address their resource planning process and long-term decarbonization goals.
Active across 18 states, we play a key role in advancing community development initiatives while shaping discussions to accelerate a national shift to a clean energy economy.
From communities and landowners to co-development partners, we always strive to put stakeholder interests in front of ours. In our view, the key to creating strong partnerships is transparency and honesty.
This means that we come prepared to answer the difficult questions in town halls or lay bare our pricing and costs to our power customers. Providing this level of clarity is not only indispensable to our partners, but gives us the opportunity to improve ourselves through invaluable feedback and insight.
In fact, one of the recent changes we made upon hearing from communities across the US, was to incorporate Agrivoltaics into all of our projects. Today, encouraging pollinators and livestock grazing is the basis for all of our designs.
We are proud to be part of the ib vogt GmbH Group, one of world's most renowned solar independent power producer (IPP). With lineage that dates back to 1991, the Group began as an engineering firm but today, operates some of the largest utility-scale solar + storage projects around the world, including in Egypt, Philippines and the United Kingdom.
Based in Florida and founded by US military veterans, our Company is the Group's largest subsidiary with a singular focus on delivering clean energy within the United States. Today, our national pipeline stands at 8 GW of solar PV and storage assets across 18 states, with many more to come.
You hear a lot about island communities leaning into #solar because importing fuels is so costly, but it's all the same for distant non-island regions as well.
This is the type of competition we can get behind, because truly everyone wins the more we spread community solar (and, really, all #solar) across our country's grid.
"Between August and December this year, we expect that U.S. utility-scale developers will add 24 GW of #solar capacity..solar will make up 63% of all new capacity to come online in the US."
Solar going strong 💪

#CleanEnergy
"The advent of agrivoltaics has provided these landowners an opportunity to preserve the legacy of their land and provide value and even retirement for all the hard work they put into the farm over the years."
The news only gets better and better for those of us working to install renewables and instill the energy transition to clean power that this nation needs.
