Strata Clean Energy Celebrates 15 Years of Innovation and Growth in Renewable Energy

Strata Clean Energy is proudly celebrating its 15th anniversary. Founded in 2008 as a residential rooftop solar company, the company has grown into a leading provider of utility-scale clean energy solutions. The company celebrated this milestone with its employees, key partners, and local officials including Representative Larry Strickland (R- North Carolina, District 28) and Senator Mike Woodard (D- North Carolina, District 22), at its Durham, NC headquarters on October 13.

"At Strata, our journey over the past 15 years has been marked by a relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction and a steadfast commitment to safety and quality," said Markus Wilhem, CEO Strata Clean Energy. "We are proud of our achievements. None of this could have been accomplished without the dedication and support of our team who helped build Strata into what it is today.”

Over the past 15 years, Strata Clean Energy has evolved into a vertically integrated clean-energy company encompassing development, engineering, procurement, construction, and operations & maintenance services for the utility market. With over 270 solar and storage projects completed, the company has been instrumental in the development and construction of 3,000 megawatts (MW) of solar energy and 3,200 megawatt hours (MWh) of utility-scale energy storage. Additionally, the operations and maintenance division oversees a 5,000 MW portfolio. Strata’s dedication to innovation and sustainability is exemplified by its growing development project pipeline, which includes 8,000 MW of solar and 31,000 MWh of battery storage. Strata is committed to having a profound impact on the transition to a cleaner and more efficient power grid.

In 2020, Strata Clean Energy made headlines when it developed the Saticoy Battery Energy Storage facility in Oxnard, CA. The 400 MWh project was among the largest of its time and eliminated the need for a planned gas-fired peaker plant in the community. In 2023, Strata developed the 1,020 MWh Scatter Wash battery storage complex and entered into 20-year tolling agreement with Arizona Public Service.

“Strata’s success is tied to our commitment to innovation and transformation,” said Josh Rogol, President of Strata Clean Energy. “From our beginning as a residential solar company to our current position as a leader in customized clean energy solutions, Strata’s dedicated team diligently works to develop new products and services which are focused on advancing sustainability and striving for net zero emissions.”

Looking ahead, Strata is developing new initiatives that will leverage our industry leading position in hourly-matched renewable energy supply contracts to power green hydrogen solutions which promise to decarbonize the most emission intensive segments of the modern industrial economy.
