ESA

Over the past few weeks, our team has been actively engaging communities in Virginia around our upcoming solar projects.

We believe in transparency and community-driven development, so we've prioritized direct outreach to ensure neighbors have their voices heard.

We canvassed door-to-door, giving residents the chance to ask questions, share concerns, and tell us their stories about the project planned for their area. For one site, we brought updated design visuals that incorporated feedback we'd already received from the community.

We also hosted a community meeting where folks could review our plans, meet the landowner directly, and speak with our development team. The turnout showed us how much people value having a seat at the table when it comes to local energy infrastructure.

Beyond project work, we had the chance to explore the area. We toured Berry Hill Resort with a local guide who happens to be neighbors with one of our landowners. We also attended the Shenandoah Music Festival, where we caught the Motor Town All Stars perform. As a festival sponsor, we're proud to support this community event running throughout August.

Between meetings, we made sure to visit local shops and support the small businesses that make these Virginia communities special.

This kind of community engagement takes time, but it's how we build projects that work for everyone. Energy independence starts with strong local partnerships.

July 4th, 1776: 56 delegates signed the Declaration of Independence, breaking away from British control. They were tired of having decisions about their trade, taxes, and local affairs made by people 3,000 miles away who had never been to America.

The founders wanted control over their own resources and the ability to make decisions locally. They saw independence as owning your own future instead of depending on distant powers.

Today, American energy independence follows the same logic. When we build electricity infrastructure that's American-owned, and develop energy projects that create jobs in rural communities, we're applying the same principle.

Energy security means making decisions about our power here at home. It means infrastructure that strengthens national security while reducing costs for families and businesses. It means energy projects that support economic development in American communities.

The founders signed up for independence. We're still building it.

Happy Independence Day!

Beach Clean Up and Cookout with the ESA Team!

Last week, our ESA Culture Committee organized a Community Service Day to kick off the summer and bring our team together

We partnered with Volusia County to clean up the beach at Mary McLeod Bethune Park, reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship and supporting the communities where we live and work.

After a morning of teamwork and impact, we came together for a cookout, complete with George's famous tacos (with help from Ricardo, Miguel, and Josiah) and a traditional Valencia paella, masterfully prepared by Javier.

Grateful to our team for their hard work and to the Culture Committee for fostering a culture that prioritizes both our people and the planet.
