Kendall Sustainable Infrastructure Expands Presence in Illinois with Partner New Leaf Energy

Kendall Sustainable Infrastructure (“KSI”) announced the continued expansion of its distributed-generation portfolio with the acquisition of a 2.5 MWdc solar project in Perry County, Illinois, from development partner New Leaf Energy (“NLE”). The project will participate in Illinois’ community solar program and will serve a combination of commercial and small subscriber community-solar offtakers.

“We are building in just under half a dozen states, largely with repeat partners,” said John Chaimanis, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Kendall Sustainable Infrastructure. “Over the last decade, we’ve found that our most successful projects come from partnerships where we understand each other’s strengths and work collaboratively. New Leaf Energy has been an excellent partner to work with.”

This transaction marks the third successful collaboration between KSI and NLE. The companies have previously partnered on two solar projects totaling 11 MWdc in New York, bringing their combined portfolio to more than 13 MWdc of operating and under-construction clean-energy assets.

“It’s an honor to work with Kendall Sustainable Infrastructure on this Illinois community solar project,” said Dan Berwick, CEO of New Leaf Energy. “One of NLE’s cultural pillars is that we build long-term relationships based on trust and transparency, and that's the kind of relationship we're continuing to build with KSI. We're confident that this project is in great hands, and we look forward to partnering with KSI a lot more.
