OUR Business Sectors
Utility-Scale Solar
Utility-scale solar refers to large solar plants that generate renewable energy assets for the grid, unlike residential systems that serve individual homes. These projects produce power on a much larger scale, often generating megawatts (MW) or gigawatts (GW), enough to power thousands of homes. The electricity from these plants feeds directly into the grid, meeting the energy needs of communities and contributing to the energy transition toward a more secure and sustainable energy mix.
Storage
Energy storage systems play a crucial role in the energy transition by capturing excess electricity during periods of low demand and releasing it back to the grid when needed. This process not only helps stabilize the power grid but also supports the integration of renewable energy assets, enhancing our sustainable energy future.
When connected to the grid, these systems provide backup power during outages and contribute to balancing supply and demand by charging during off-peak times and discharging during peak periods.
Arthur Baker will continue to develop projects while exploring opportunities such as behind-the-meter applications, 'solar + storage,' and 'data center + storage' as they emerge within this evolving market.
Onshore Wind
Onshore wind energy is generated by wind turbines placed on land, harnessing the natural flow of air to support the energy transition towards more sustainable energy solutions. These wind farms, which are considered vital renewable energy assets, are typically found in rural or open areas, where there are fewer buildings or obstacles to disrupt the wind flow. Onshore wind farms generate electricity from wind in terrestrial locations and have traditionally been a leading source of renewable energy, offering one of the most cost-effective solutions.
