LRE

Leeward Renewable Energy (LRE) is a U.S. renewable energy company founded in Texas in 2003. It owns and operates more than 30 wind, solar, and energy storage projects, with a combined capacity exceeding 4 gigawatts, and continues to develop new projects to help meet growing domestic energy demand. LRE’s approach emphasizes domestic jobs, local partnerships, responsible land stewardship, and long-term community relationships.

Its project portfolio includes Ridgely Solar, an LRE subsidiary facility planned for Lake County, Tennessee. Located on approximately 1,300 acres, the project is designed to generate up to 177 megawatts of solar power. LRE expects the facility to operate for more than 30 years, supplying emission-free electricity while supporting construction employment, local economic activity, and public services through tax revenues. The company also manages site infrastructure and vegetation, with practices intended to support native plants and biodiversity. Across its business, LRE offers renewable energy solutions through solar, wind, and energy storage, and works with landowners, communities, energy buyers, and other partners.
