Empowering Communities

We love to see communities happy and successful, and we will continue to build on these great relationships as we write the next chapter of energy history together.

Community engagement is one of the most important aspects of who we are.

Advancing Environmental Responsibility

The broad goal of clean energy is to reduce human impact on the earth, to change the way we do things, to prioritize the preservation of natural spaces and a more respectful relationship to them.

Working with the Department of Energy (DOE) to Study Bird Interactions

Our Grand Ridge Solar Energy Center (20 MW, Solar, IL) and the ECS team partnered with the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to research bird interactions with solar facilities. Argonne is developing a technology that will automate detection of bird-solar interactions using high-definition cameras and artificial intelligence. The goal of the study is to get a more accurate understanding of how birds use solar PV infrastructure, which will provide further insight into how to better integrate solar projects into the environment around them.

Bat Preservation Initiatives

The Number Three Wind Farm (106 MW, Wind, NY) in upstate New York worked with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on a unique mitigation project to address a risk to the state and federally protected northern long-eared bat (NLEB). Raccoons were accessing a hibernaculum, or large cave where bats hibernate, preying upon bats as they entered and left. The project team worked with a wildlife consultant to coordinate the trapping and removal of the raccoons at the cave entrance, which eliminated the problem of predation for not only northern long-eared bats, but also for the other bat species using the cave.

American Wind Wildlife Institute (AWWI)

Invenergy continued its membership of American Wind Wildlife Institute (AWWI) and Wind Wildlife Research Fund (WWRF) in 2021. An important initiative included contributing to a consultant-led study to quantify the relationship between weather patterns and bat activity. The results of the study support the long-term objective of using data gathered during early wind project development to accurately predict the times when bats are likely to be more exposed to collision risk with operating turbines. Operational restrictions — a measure known as curtailment — can then be implemented to protect bats during the precise conditions carrying more risk – essentially maximizing both energy production and bat conservation.

Vegetation Management

Invenergy stayed ahead of the curve on its environmental initiatives and conscientious land management was essential to that success. In 2021, we established a Vegetation Management Program that provides comprehensive, in-house vegetation and soil management expertise to minimize long-term vegetation and restoration costs.
