More and more communities are recognizing: clean energy is an opportunity to create long-term economic growth.
 
The benefits of wind and solar go beyond payments to landowners and tax revenue for schools and emergency services—these projects bring business activity to local areas, supporting everything from restaurants to young workers looking to begin their careers.

The process of selecting a location for a solar farm involves a series of subject-matter experts, each of whom identifies potential opportunities or helps mitigate a particular risk. 

For Marissa Lantieri, EIT, it's a matter of gaining an understanding of the unique features of an area to understand where panels can be placed with minimum impact. Apex Explains:

Despite immense opportunities for technological disciplines (including in the energy sector), there remain barriers to women being able to take advantage of them: women only account for about 28% of engineering graduates worldwide.

Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we want to celebrate the incredible women at Apex working in technical roles as we support current and future generations of women energy workers in pursuing their passions.

It’s still a dramatic amount of the world’s energy that is being generated by fossil fuels, but the energy transition gains momentum every day.

Renewable energy continues to become increasingly cheaper to generate, and the long-term prospects for our industry are optimistic.

As the world increasingly understands the importance of environmentally sound power systems, we are building the infrastructure that will enable a more sustainable future. ⚡

Apex’s business model poises us to take advantage of the accelerating demand for decarbonized energy solutions.  

With a growing pipeline of wind, solar, and storage projects across the country, the resilience of the Apex team is shining through amid challenging permitting regimes and tough transmission constraints. Read more:

Today is World Wetlands Day—a chance to recognize a crucial habitat that is threatened by climate change. 

Wetlands act as filters, provide flood and erosion control, and even help absorb and slow floodwaters—all while serving as a home and migration pathway for a range of species and wildlife.

Working with Ducks Unlimited, Apex is helping support wetland well-being through our Conservation Grant Program. Members of both teams headed to the Two Rivers National Wildlife Reserve in Illinois and Missouri last fall to plant cottonwood trees and see the importance of these hybrid habitats for themselves. 🌱

Even in the coldest months of the year, momentum keeps building! 👷👷♀️

Today marks the start of Black History Month—an annual commemoration of Black History as well as recognition of the ongoing achievements of African Americans in all realms of society. Originally conceived as a celebratory week by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926, it was expanded to a full month in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. 

The energy industry has a below-average representation of Black workers; 8% of energy workers are Black or African American compared to a 12% national workforce average. Our sector still has work to do to reach its inclusion goals, but through our partnership with the Ron Brown Scholar Program as well as initiatives like the Clean Energy Crash Course, Apex is working to create specific opportunities for African Americans in the energy transition.

#ACPmember Apex Clean Energy and Microsoft recently signed a PPA for the 125-megawatt Wheatsborough solar project in Ohio. Signed under the Microsoft-Volt Energy Utility Environmental Justice Framework, the solar power will supply Microsoft facilities as the company aims to support 100% of its energy needs with renewable energy. 

The Wheatsborough project will support over 100 local jobs during construction.
