THE POWER OF Experience
the most accomplished team developing utility-scale RENEWABLE ENERGY projects in the United States
SUPERIOR APPROACH TO Demand Growth
Candela is the most accomplished and experienced independent utility-scale solar and storage developer in the United States.
We founded Candela to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. This requires more than just building renewable energy infrastructure. It demands the skill and experience crucial to lowering the cost of solar power in an environmentally sensitive manner.
As an independent developer, Candela is technology-agnostic, affording the agility to meet rapidly rising load from electrification, AI, and industrial growth. We select and deploy the best equipment and complementary technologies - such as battery storage - which benefit project owners, power purchasers, landowners and other constituents.
Candela’s core team has been developing solar, storage, and gas-fired generation in the U.S. for over 20 years, playing a critical role in ensuring reliability, managing peak demand, and supporting grid stability. And because utility-scale solar power generation is capital-intensive, we focus on creating financeable projects structured to provide predictable and resilient returns to investors and lenders.
We founded Candela to be a leader in America’s clean energy future.Our senior leadership team has worked together for more than a decade developing industry-first projects across the U.S. We continue to build on this legacy, assembling a robust and diverse project pipeline to meet growing demand in markets throughout the U.S. ”
