Community-owned energy · North Carolina

The power belongs to the people who use it.

Chase Energy builds community solar co-ops and caretaker-managed energy-and-farming sites — putting affordable, local, resilient power back in the hands of the communities it serves.

What we build

Three simple ideas, wired together.

Not corporate scale — community scale. Enough to really do some good, owned close to the ground.

☀️

Community solar co-ops

Neighbors subscribe to a shared solar site and earn credits on their power bills — clean energy without needing panels on every roof.

🌱

Elevated-canopy farms

Solar panels raised above the land, with real farming and pasture underneath. One parcel, two harvests — power on top, food below.

🤝

On-site caretakers

Each site is tended by a resident caretaker — housing and a livelihood in exchange for stewardship. Real people, rooted in place.

Why it matters

Resilience you can see from your own street.

Centralized power is fragile and it answers to shareholders. Local, community-owned power answers to neighbors.

Affordable & local — savings stay in the community instead of leaving with a utility.
Resilient — distributed generation keeps the lights on when the grid strains.
Dual-use land — the same acre powers homes and grows food.
Rooted stewardship — caretakers who live on-site and know the ground.
Community benefit first — a cash-flow model built to sustain the mission, not extract from it.

"Power is power — it belongs to whoever makes it."

Chase Energy exists to make it, and to keep it close to home.

For communities & landowners

Let's build one where you live.
