Nate is the Chief Executive Officer at Ampion. Through his expertise and innovative strategies, he has led Ampion to provides easy access to locally-produced solar energy, including businesses like breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants participate in renewable energy through community solar projects. Nate founded Ampion at a small coffee shop in Bar Harbor Maine, but eventually moved its HQ to Boston, MA, to jump on Massachusetts’ budding community solar program and to be closer to a larger consumer base. He can speak to a variety of topics, including: how a distributed generation management program allows developers to focus on making more solar farms a reality; strategies used to navigate the ever-changing landscape of tax incentives, credits, and regulations; and insight into how the fast-growing industry looks different state-by-state.
“Maine’s position only reinforces the need for alternative energy sources like solar, small hydro, batteries, fuel cells, and wind, all of which can be installed in-state and don’t rely on fuels with volatile prices.”
The community distributed generation industry is growing and changing – fast. Here’s how stakeholders and utilities can keep up, writes Nate Owen, CEO of Ampion.
Wendy's is making a push toward sustainability with a new solar energy partnership.
By bundling Green-e Energy certified RECs with traditional community solar savings, Ampion is helping businesses streamline their renewable energy efforts. Ampion+ provides a huge benefit to corporate subscribers, and also to solar developers, who can rely on the stability of additional anchor subscribers for their community solar sites.
