Renewable & Distributed Generation Projects

Our Energy Division is recognized as the #1 solar + storage installer in the U.S. ("Solar Power World," 2023) and builds projects from the field to the grid. Whether it's a solar, battery storage, substation, EV charging, microgrid or converter station project, our skilled project management, engineering and field teams deliver when it matters most. Our projects come in all shapes and sizes—from several small sites to thousands of acres.

Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS)

Leveraging our EPC utility-scale solar expertise, we offer energy storage solutions for customers to maximize their renewable energy investments. With more than 16.6 GWh of battery energy storage systems and 2,100 MW of generator capacity installed or under contract, CEI is ranked the largest large-scale solar installer in the U.S. by Solar Power World (2024). 

Grid Paralleled or Autonomous
Turnkey Microgrids

From design and installation to interconnection and coordination, we've got you covered. Our turnkey microgrid projects combine solar and/or natural gas generation with battery storage and can operate parallel to the existing grid or in a standalone capacity. 

With years of EPC solar experience, combined with generator and battery storage data center project experience, our team can manage behind-the-meter commercial-type connections or before-the-meter IOU interconnections, including Rule 21 coordination.

Infrastructure

In addition to conventional and distributed generation projects, we deliver infrastructure projects like those built for PG&E at mobile home parks across California to meet a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) safety mandate. These “programmatic” projects are typically Design/Build and involve electrical and gas upgrades performed simultaneously in multiple locations.

When it comes to infrastructure projects, we believe that our communications efforts with residents are just as important as the work we put into designing, managing and delivering projects safely.
