This indicates opportunities to position value-added energy solutions that align with grant-funded or socially-responsible purchasing programs and explore partnerships with foundations or government programs seeking to support low-income energy affordability.
Community solar leadership The company operates and expands community solar initiatives, including operating America’s largest low-income community solar project. This creates sales openings for solar development services, storage integration, and transmission financing models that support scalable, community-based energy projects.
Infrastructure financing Citizens actively develops high-voltage transmission and other energy infrastructure through innovative financing. This suggests opportunities to offer project finance advisory, PPA structuring, and innovative funding mechanisms to unlock additional grid-scale projects.
Cross-border partnerships Recent collaborations with utilities like SDG&E, PG&E, National Grid, and Holyoke Gas & Electric show a pattern of utility partnerships. This indicates potential sales avenues for technology upgrades, energy efficiency programs, and joint venture models with utilities targeting low- to moderate-income customers.
