EnSync Energy partners Lower Energy to offer solar energy

EnSync Energy Systems  a leading developer of innovative distributed energy resources (DERs), announced a partnership with licensed agent, broker and consultant (ABC) Lower Electric to offer solar energy-based electricity solutions to its nearly 4,000 clients in Illinois.

Dan Nordloh, executive vice president of EnSync Energy said “Combined with Lower Electric’s client relationships, the partnership creates a range of market options that align with both Lower Electric’s and EnSync’s client interests.”

The Illinois clean energy market is poised for rapid growth due to the state’s Long-Term Renewable Resource Procurement Plan, which mandates that investor-owned electric utilities source at least 25 percent of their electricity sales from solar and wind sources by 2025. The Plan sets a minimum target of 666 megawatts (MW) of capacity from community solar and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar generation systems that are less than 2 MW in size by year 2020.

Illinois’ renewable generation legislation reflects a national trend in governmental incentives to shift to clean energy. With over half of U.S. states having deregulated their electricity markets, EnSync Energy plans for additional partnerships with electricity companies in the future.
