Sustainability at Apex
Beyond our work to accelerate the shift to clean energy through renewable energy projects, it is critical for Apex to act and lead on sustainability.
We seek solutions that transcend our business model to lower our individual and collective environmental footprints, and we invest in socially responsible practices and share our expertise to expand opportunities for others to further the transition to a better, more sustainable future.
Helping a sovereign culture thrive
After years of discussion with wind energy companies across North America, the Oceti Ŝakowiŋ Power Authority (OSPA) selected Apex Clean Energy as its partner in the development process. Together, the two formed 7G Renewable Energy to develop wind on the reservations.
Enhancing conservation through the energy transition
The Apex Conservation Grant (ACG) program and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) have partnered on a first-of-its kind conservation program. For each new wind and solar project that Apex commercializes, the company will contribute $1,000 per megawatt to NFWF, which will match these funds at a level of 1:1 or more and will prioritize utilizing the dollars to fund conservation projects near the renewable energy facilities.
Resilience amid uncertainty
Thousands of rural American towns and counties are already being sustained by the jobs and economic benefits delivered by utility-scale wind and solar energy projects. These revenue streams enable landowners and communities to persevere through the best of times and the worst of times. These projects make communities more resilient, and in times like these, resilience is endurance.
