Offsite Renewables

Simplifying your access to offsite renewable energy 

There are many benefits to utilizing offsite renewable energy resources. Offsite renewables such as wind and solar can help reduce electricity costs, provide greater budget certainty, mitigate energy market price risk, and help your organization meet its business and sustainability goals — without the need for onsite installation.

Usource is part of the NextEra Energy family of companies — the world’s largest producer of wind and solar energy. As part of NextEra Energy, Usource has deep industry knowledge and is uniquely positioned to analyze, facilitate, and execute your renewable energy project to ensure it is a cohesive fit with your organization’s overall energy strategy.

Offsite Solar

When onsite solar installation is not feasible for your facility or property due to physical space available, building and land ownership restrictions, or financial constraints, offsite solar may be an excellent option. With offsite solar energy, your organization can leverage clean, renewable solar energy, reduce carbon emissions, lower electricity costs and meet sustainability goals — even when the solar array is not on your property. 

Offsite solar projects are generally structured one of two ways:

  1. The power generated from the solar panels is directly fed into your facility to offset your electricity consumption from the grid.
  2. The power is fed into the grid and your business receives a utility bill credit for the power generated.

Offsite Solar Benefits

Free from the building and land restrictions of onsite solar
Results in no hazardous cleanup at the project’s end
Can yield savings benefits for multiple facilities within your region
Creates no solid waste, greenhouse gases or waste byproducts
The size and design of the solar array can be custom-made

Offsite Wind

Wind is a clean, cost-effective choice which can help your organization reduce its carbon footprint, lower electricity costs, and meet sustainability goals. Wind energy is affordable, good for our environment and our economy. Wind energy provides millions in tax dollars and landowner payments. It also creates jobs and boosts local economies.
