Strengthening the link between sustainability and economic development
Our thought leadership is driven by one goal: to make solar energy a vehicle for economic development, energy independence and lasting security in urban areas. Our customers save an average of 20% on their energy costs. But more importantly, they solidify a lasting legacy in the eyes of their people, prosperity and the planet.
Drawing from this foundation, VGI has developed a bold vision for the future of Chicago. We’re embarking on a rigorous journey to power each of Chicago’s 50 wards with 1 MW of solar and storage. And that’s just the beginning. By combining tenacity, thought leadership and development expertise, we will curb climate change across the nation—and it all starts in urban centers.
