“Clean energy solutions have become a critical priority for property owners, not just because of their sustainability initiatives, but also because of the compelling economic benefits that energy efficiency retrofits and renewable energy can generate for them. Now, more than ever, commercial & institutional clients need to seize on these opportunities to improve the cash flow of their buildings. Brightcore Energy brings a truly differentiated and superior approach to the marketplace based on its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions and its experience and expertise in developing, executing, financing and maintaining these projects.
