Part of the alliance includes Black & Veatch installing solar photovoltaic (PV) commercial rooftop systems in the Kansas City area. 

Brightergy will serve as the project developer and provides sales, marketing and financing resources, while Black & Veatch will offer engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and consulting experience. The venture will target commercial-scale PV solar rooftop projects ranging from 25 kW to 2 MW. 

“A growing number of organizations seek new ways to manage energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint,” said Adam Blake, Brightergy CEO. “Through our alliance we help organizations get the best of both worlds.”

 “Our alliance with Brightergy allows Black & Veatch to further expand its portfolio of distributed generation services,” said Dean Oskvig, president and CEO of Black & Veatch’s energy business. “We will apply the experience gained in delivering solar PV projects both in North America and around the world.”
