More than a clean energy company, a true local partner

Cypress Creek is committed to responsible development that respects and protects natural resources. We develop programs and support organizations that work to conserve these resources for future generations. As part of our Solar + Pollinator Initiative, we plant native, pollinator-friendly plants within many of our solar projects to provide foraging habitat for important pollinator insects and species in critical need of our protection. Co-locating pollinator friendly vegetation on solar facilities can bring benefits to nearby agricultural activities which are dependent on pollinator services. 

We partner with technical and community colleges across the U.S. to create, support, and promote renewable energy job training, with a focus on bringing more women, minorities, and veterans into the industry. Our aim is to strengthen the American energy workforce by proactively investing in job training and workforce development initiatives that include scholarships, guest lectures, in-field classroom experiences, and equipment donations.  

We provide scholarships to college-aged students in communities across the country and award scholarships to high school students interested in renewable energy through our Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders program. We also provide funding for K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programming through partnerships with school districts where our projects are located. By contributing to STEM programming, we strive to empower the next generation of the renewable energy workforce. 

Far too often, communities across the country find themselves without the resources to invest in critical local priorities like safe roads and bridges, training and equipment for first responders, and textbooks for school children. Our projects help our local partners meet these needs by providing long-term, stable revenue sources from our paid property taxes for essential services, all while delivering job opportunities for workers and providing an influx of new capital investment that can help support local businesses. 

In addition to the strong economic benefits our projects provide to communities, direct community investments are part of what we do for every project. We sponsor and donate to nonprofits, schools, and community initiatives and events after carefully consulting with residents to identify their highest needs.
