Chaberton Energy Celebrates Six Years of Innovation and Growth

Chaberton Energy, a notable player in the distributed energy sector, is thrilled to announce that it has successfully completed 33 energy projects, generating a total of 125 megawatts (MW) of sustainable power. As the company celebrates its sixth anniversary, this achievement underscores its commitment to community-focused renewable energy solutions. With projects spanning both the United States and Italy, Chaberton is not just about numbers; it reflects a determination to reinforce local communities through accessible energy.

Founded in February 2020, Chaberton has steadily grown by emphasizing disciplined project development and meaningful community engagement. The CEO and founder, Stefano Ratti, stated, "Six years ago, we began with the belief that distributed energy, particularly community solar and battery storage, could foster a more efficient and equitable energy grid. Reaching 125 MW symbolizes our growth, but earning trust from landowners and communities is what truly matters."

Growth Through Collaboration

This ambitious pursuit of sustainable energy solutions has led Chaberton to develop a robust portfolio. Beyond the recently completed projects, the company has over 100 energy projects with a controlling capacity exceeding 500 MWdc. Their development pipeline boasts an impressive 1 gigawatt, ensuring that the future of energy at Chaberton is anchored in innovation and community service.

Chaberton's dedication to expanding its reach is apparent in its recent projects in Delaware and Maryland. In 2025, they finalized six community solar projects that added 17 MW of new power, delivering vital electricity to subscribers who need it most.

Advancing Energy Storage Technologies

A pivotal area of focus in Chaberton's strategy has been battery energy storage systems (BESS). Unlike conventional generation methods, battery storage provides flexibility, capturing excess energy when supplies are abundant and delivering it during peak demands. Mike Doniger, Chaberton's president, emphasized the impact of BESS by stating, "Battery storage transforms our approach by addressing generation needs and ensuring power availability when it’s crucial. This innovation directly addresses the challenges of energy affordability."

Empowering Communities

Beyond technical achievements, Chaberton Energy emphasizes the importance of making a social impact. Through its initiative, Chaberton Cares, the company contributes $5,000 for every megawatt of distributed energy developed. This commitment has supported 25 nonprofit organizations, focusing on providing resources and opportunities for underserved populations.

Looking Towards the Future

With strong foundations in place, Chaberton is poised for a promising future. The company now operates as a national entity, aiming to enhance energy accessibility and lower costs for communities. Ratti expressed a sense of pride in what has been achieved while emphasizing that the journey is just beginning.

"We're proud of our accomplishments, and we’re eager to continue our contributions to sustainable energy, not only through growth but by fostering trust and collaboration within each community we serve," he concluded.
