COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Partnership Highlights

A key component of Cloudbreak Energy’s mission of advancing clean energy generation across the United States is ensuring that the economic and ecosystemic benefits of our projects are directly accessible to the communities in which we work. Cloudbreak achieves this goal by cultivating select partnerships with local organizations and networks, providing clean electricity to community members at discounted rates, and employing local labor for project construction, land maintenance, and sustainable landscape design.
