Nautilus Solar Energy and TurningPoint Energy (TPE) have completed a 4-MW community solar project in Dover, Delaware. The project will deliver renewable energy to the Delmarva Power grid, with a dedicated portion serving Delaware’s low-income households. The Dover site was developed by TPE and built and operated by Nautilus.
“The Dover project reflects the strength of what Nautilus and TPE have built together in Delaware – a partnership grounded in a shared commitment to expanding access to clean, affordable energy,” said Eric Paul, Senior Vice President of Origination, Nautilus. “At a time when rising energy costs are putting real pressure on households, community solar offers predictable, locally generated power that starts delivering savings more quickly than nearly any other alternative. We’re proud to bring that option to this area, and especially to the low- and moderate-income customers this project is designed to serve.”
Nautilus and TPE have also extended their commitment to Delaware through community investment through a 30-MW, six-project portfolio. Together, the two companies donated a combined $240,000 to local nonprofits in communities across the state. These contributions are designed to create lasting social value by supporting organizations working on the front lines of housing, food access, and youth development. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware and Springboard Delaware are among the nonprofits that received donations.
“Delaware has demonstrated what can be achieved when state leaders, local governments, and private industry work together toward a common goal,” said Salar Naini, President of TPE. “The projects in this portfolio will generate savings of over $35 million for residents and organizations across the state at a time when electricity prices are at their highest. We’ve appreciated the partnership and leadership we’ve experienced across the state in helping us actualize these benefits for Delawareans, and we’re proud to work alongside Nautilus to deliver these projects.”
