Building A Sustainable Future For All
For 20+ years, we have been developing, constructing, operating, and maintaining ownership over impactful, utility-scale renewable energy projects that support domestic energy independence. Our portfolio of wind, solar, and energy storage facilities with approximately 4 GW of generating capacity were responsibly designed and are carefully managed to preserve and protect the land while providing meaningful contributions to the communities where we operate. We deliver execution certainty to our customers through our long-term equipment procurement strategy, use of tier-one suppliers, and increasing use of domestically sourced material to support American jobs.
Explore our pipeline of clean energy solutions.
We currently have 30+ projects, producing over 4GW of wind, solar, and battery storage, with even more projects under development.
About Our Portfolio
Our portfolio of more than 30 renewable energy projects across the U.S. generates more than 4GW of capacity, spanning our responsibly developed and operated wind, solar, and storage facilities. Driven by innovation and bolstered by integrity, we’re committed to long-term operational excellence in every one of our clean energy projects. Our projects are located across the United States, chosen for their ability to generate reliable clean energy and redistribute power back into the regional grid.
As long-term owners and operators, we remain invested in our projects and the communities where they operate for decades. That means carefully managing each site for reliable energy production while protecting the land, supporting local jobs, and contributing to the communities we call home. From project design through day-to-day operations, we take a site-specific approach that considers the surrounding environment and the people who live there.
WIND
Cedar Creek Wind Energy
Weld County, Colorado
Leeward Renewable Energy’s (LRE) Cedar Creek Wind Energy project is situated on 32,000 acres in Grover, Colorado, and reached commercial operation in 2007. With a nameplate capacity of 301 MW, the project is comprised of 221 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 1000 1.0 MW wind turbine generators, and 53 GE 1.5 MW wind turbine generators. The project developed and jointly owns a 72–mile generator tie line and interconnects to Xcel Energy’s Public Service Company of Colorado transmission system. PSCo purchases output from the Cedar Creek project under a long–term power purchase agreement.
SOLAR
Mayes County Solar
Mayes County, Oklahoma
Leeward Renewable Energy (LRE) is developing three solar energy facilities in Mayes County, Oklahoma near the city of Pryor Creek. The facilities will be located on privately–owned land and will generate a total of approximately 370 megawatts of clean energy.
WIND
AVEP BESS
Kern County, California
Leeward Renewable Energy’s (LRE) Antelope Valley BESS facility in Kern County, California is a 126–megawatt standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Kern County, California. The project is located adjacent to LRE’S 100–MW solar and storage Rabbitbrush project and 174–MW solar and storage Chaparral Springs project. The AVEP BESS facility is designed to support the resiliency and reliability of the California electrical grid and will be capable of storing over 500 MWhs of clean power that can be dispatched during peak load times to meet demand. LRE has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Southern California Edison (SCE) to purchase energy from AVEP BESS. Once complete, the facility will be LRE’s first standalone battery energy storage system. Construction of the AVEP BESS facility began in mid–2023, and the project is expected to be operational in 2024.
Our Process
Every LRE renewable energy project begins with finding the right site. We evaluate the strength of the local energy resource, access to transmission infrastructure, land characteristics, environmental considerations, and the surrounding community’s needs. From there, our teams collaborate closely with landowners, local officials, residents, and other stakeholders as the project moves through planning, permitting, and design.
Once permits are secured, construction typically takes 12–24 months, though exact construction timelines vary based on each project’s specifics. During construction, LRE-managed crews prepare the site, build supporting infrastructure, install equipment, and ready the facility for operation. Activity levels vary throughout construction, but this is generally the busiest period. Our responsibly developed renewable energy projects create temporary jobs and increased spending at nearby businesses.
Before any of our wind, solar, or storage facilities begin commercial operation, each project undergoes testing and commissioning to confirm that it meets performance and safety requirements. Once operational, a dedicated operations team monitors and maintains each facility to ensure it delivers reliable clean energy while remaining a good neighbor in the community for decades to come.
Let’s build sustainable solutions together.
Let us show you how responsible renewable energy projects from LRE generate jobs and deliver reliable power for generations to come.
