Our energy futures...

Clean, local, affordable.
Abundant, resilient, restorative.

Groundswell is building community power.

Groundswell builds community power to increase local resilience for everyone and cut electricity bills in half for our neighbors who need savings the most.

  • Community Development with Clean Energy. We use community solar, resilience hubs, and residential energy efficiency to preserve affordable housing, strengthen the grid, and support local economic development.
  • Leveraging Data and Technology to Scale Results. We connect people with projects through our data platform to deliver sustainable, measurable results.
  • People-Focused and Place-Based. Founded in 2009, Groundswell joyfully serves five states with resilience hubs and 7,000 families in rural, small-town, and urban communities in the Heartland, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast with more than $3.5 million in annual electricity savings. 
  • From Demonstration to Transformation. Based on our current strategic plan, we’re on a pathway to deliver $29 million per year in savings to 36,000 families and deploying resilience hubs across 12 states within five years.

Groundswell's Impact

Sharing from abundance.

How can we use the abundant energy from the sun to “love our neighbors as ourselves”? At Groundswell, we do so through building solar projects that share power and devote 100% of solar savings to the households where they are best resourced.

Whether you rent or own your home, if you live in one of the communities Groundswell serves, you can subscribe to SharePowerTM for locally-produced solar energy that makes a difference for your community and the environment.
