Green Development

The caliber of students in this program is truly impressive, and the URI Energy Fellow we brought on board in 2024 was no exception. Patrick O'Mahony was an asset to our in-house engineering, business development, and biochar teams with his unique combination of engineering and soil science skills. For each of the past 8 years we have had the pleasure of working with one or more students from the program, several of whom have joined our full-time staff. All have provided us with valuable insights and contributed to the company's success.

On December 12th, URI Energy Fellows showcased their hard work and achievements through oral presentations at the annual College of the Environment and Life Sciences Research and Extension Fellowship Symposium. These presentations celebrated the Fellows’ successes and honored the invaluable contributions of our mentor partners.

Cheers to you, 2024 Fellows!

The City of East Providence announced today that it has signed a 25-year agreement with Green Development, a Cranston-based developer of large-scale solar, wind, and battery projects. The agreement, enabled by the Rhode Island Virtual Net Metering program, makes it possible for qualified entities, such as municipalities, quasi-government agencies, nonprofits, and schools to realize significant savings on their energy bills while contributing to the growth of clean, renewable energy in Rhode Island. The annual savings will be approximately $670,000 per year and $18,500,000 over the life of the agreement.

We are proud to support the Boston Marathon Race for Rehab team at Spaulding Rehabilitation Network and the amazing work that they do in the areas of advanced rehab treatment and research. We'll all be cheering for you on Marathon Monday!

Our team members always enjoy hosting University of Rhode Island field trips to our wind and solar sites! We recently welcomed students from Professor Simona Trandafir's Economics of Renewable Energy Systems course (EEC 352G) to our NK Green wind turbine.

Our team had a wonderful time last night bowling for a great cause at Lang's Bowlerama. It was the 39th Annual Achieve-a-Bowl. Thank you Junior Achievement of Rhode Island for all you do for the youth of RI!

Our new billboard on Route 95 South in Cranston, RI says it all. We are grateful to all who supported the development of our 3 new turbines in Providence: The Washington Park Neighborhood Association, Mayor Jorge Elorza, Councilman Pedro Espinal & the Providence City Council, Johnson & Wales University, Provport, and Waterson Terminal Services, LLC!
