Our Vision

At Nexys Energy, our vision is a world where clean, renewable energy powers every community, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of income—benefit from advances in sustainable technology. We envision a future where affordable housing communities are not only energy-resilient but also empowered to lead the fight against climate change through accessible and equitable renewable energy solutions.

Our Mission

Nexys Energy is committed to transforming Connecticut’s affordable housing communities by providing turnkey, no-cost solar power and battery backup systems. Our mission is twofold: to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions and to empower low-income residents by lowering their energy costs and enhancing their energy security. We aim to achieve this by offering innovative, sustainable energy solutions that deliver direct financial benefits to tenants and promote environmental justice across the state.

Environmental Justice and Climate Action

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and the fight against it requires action on multiple fronts. Nexys Energy is dedicated to mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing reliance on fossil fuels through the widespread adoption of solar energy in Connecticut’s affordable housing sector. By installing solar power systems at no cost to property owners, we are not only decreasing the carbon footprint of these communities but also ensuring that the benefits of renewable energy are equitably distributed.

Connecticut’s high electricity rates, among the highest in the nation, disproportionately impact low-income families who spend a larger percentage of their income on energy. Nexys Energy addresses this issue by providing solar installations that offer tenants significant annual savings on their electricity bills, reflected as on-bill credits. This approach not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also ensures that the most vulnerable populations can access clean, affordable energy—furthering the cause of environmental justice.

Economic Empowerment and Energy Equity

Nexys Energy believes that economic justice is intrinsically linked to energy justice. By providing solar energy systems at zero cost, we remove financial barriers that typically prevent affordable housing properties from adopting renewable energy solutions. Our model eliminates the need for property owners to incur debt or navigate the complexities of financing, making it easier for them to contribute to a greener future.

The financial savings generated by our solar installations are directly passed on to tenants in the form of energy bill credits, offering an immediate and tangible benefit. For many low-income families, these savings can make a significant difference in their quality of life. Moreover, our battery backup systems provide an additional layer of security, ensuring that residents are protected during power outages. This reliability is crucial for vulnerable populations, particularly in elderly and supportive housing, where energy security can directly impact health and well-being.

Commitment to Connecticut’s Affordable Housing Sector

Nexys Energy’s mission is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We are dedicated to making Connecticut a leader in the transition to clean energy, with a particular focus on affordable housing. Our projects are tailored to meet the specific needs of affordable housing properties, from senior housing to Section 8 and naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH). We understand that these communities often face unique challenges, and we are committed to providing solutions that are both effective and equitable.

Our solar installations are designed to maximize the use of available space, whether it be through roof-mounted systems, carport arrays, or ground-mounted installations. Each project is carefully planned to ensure that it not only meets the energy needs of the property but also enhances the overall environment, providing additional benefits such as shaded parking or improved aesthetics.

A Model of Sustainability and Equity

Nexys Energy operates on the principle that sustainability and equity are not mutually exclusive; rather, they are mutually reinforcing. Our work is guided by the belief that the benefits of the renewable energy transition should be accessible to all, not just those who can afford to pay for it. By focusing on affordable housing, we are ensuring that the communities most affected by environmental and economic challenges are at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.

Our approach to sustainability goes beyond reducing carbon emissions. It encompasses the creation of resilient communities that are better prepared to face the challenges of a changing climate. Through our battery backup systems, we provide a critical safeguard against the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, ensuring that residents have access to power when they need it most.

Advancing Environmental and Economic Justice

Environmental justice is at the core of Nexys Energy’s mission. We recognize that low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards and climate change. By providing clean energy solutions that directly benefit these communities, we are advancing a model of environmental justice that prioritizes those who have historically been marginalized.

Our mission aligns with broader efforts to address climate change at the local, state, and national levels. We are committed to supporting Connecticut’s goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy adoption. By partnering with affordable housing providers, we are not only contributing to these goals but also ensuring that the benefits of the clean energy transition are shared equitably.

Innovation and Leadership in Renewable Energy

As a leader in the renewable energy sector, Nexys Energy is committed to continuous innovation. We are constantly exploring new technologies and approaches to enhance the effectiveness of our solar and battery backup systems. Our goal is to provide the most advanced, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions to the communities we serve.

We also recognize the importance of collaboration in achieving our mission. Nexys Energy works closely with local governments, community organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that our projects align with the needs and priorities of the communities we serve. We believe that by working together, we can create a more sustainable and just energy future for all.
