Energy Solutions: Community First, Energy Forward
Delafield Energy is a family-owned business founded in 2013, headquartered in Durham, NC. We help landowners generate income through sustainable solar projects, conducting business in the most straightforward and transparent way possible.
We meet with landowners in-person to explain how our mutually beneficial partnership works. Our team guides you through the entire process, ensuring you understand how the value of your land can be maximized.
While these projects take time to develop, we're committed to building long-term relationships founded on trust and reliability. Our goal is simple: create sustainable partnerships where both landowners and communities benefit financially for years to come.

Transmission-Tied Development
Transmission projects are interconnected to the large overhead powerlines that serve as the grid's "electrical highways." Due to the size and voltage of these power lines, the projects themselves must also be large in their size and scope.
They typically require at least 200 acres of land and proximate access to an overhead transmission line. These projects vary in size depending on location, utility, and line voltage. At Delafield Energy, we help landowners turn these large properties into long-term revenue generators.
Delafield Energy has over a decade of development experience and a proven track record of success delivering these projects across the eastern seaboard.
ELIGIBILITY
For your land to be eligible for financial opportunities, it must:
- * Transmission: Minimum of 200 acres of contiguous land
- * Access to power lines and/or a utility substation
- * Generally free of wetlands, and floodplains
- * Grade of 15% or less

EXPERIENCED
Operating since 2013, we have seen solar in North Carolina grow from infancy to the fourth most installed capacity in America. Our projects span North and South Carolina, Virginia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. Our partnerships have created generational wealth opportunities for landowners through long-term lease agreements that provide steady, predictable income for decades.
PASSIONATE
Solar energy has been a part of our family since 2001 when John Delafield, co-founder of Delafield Energy, learned to incorporate passive and active solar into his residential building design. Today, having seen its power on a utility scale, we work diligently to create a world powered by the sun while helping landowners establish sustainable income streams that benefit multiple generations of their families. Though these projects take time to develop, the financial rewards are well worth the investment.
