Coronal Energy, LLC

Coronal Energy, LLC was a leading independent power producer specializing in utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across North America. Headquartered in Pasadena, California—with historical operations also noted in Charlottesville, Virginia—the company delivered turnkey renewable energy solutions tailored to utilities, corporations, municipalities, and public sector clients. Coronal managed a portfolio of 333 megawatts of operating assets with a multi-gigawatt development pipeline spanning over 20 U.S. states.
The firm’s expertise covered all aspects of project delivery: from initial site selection through financing arrangements to engineering design and long-term asset management. Notable achievements included developing landmark projects such as the Rankin Solar Center in South Carolina—a $15 million investment generating enough clean electricity for approximately 2,000 homes annually. Coronal’s business model emphasized strong partnerships with Fortune Global 500 companies (notably Panasonic), robust financial backing for large-scale deployments, and a commitment to advancing sustainable infrastructure.
In May 2019–2020 period, Coronal Energy’s development business was acquired by Lincoln Clean Energy (LCE), itself part of Denmark-based Ørsted—one of the world’s largest renewable energy groups—effectively integrating Coronal's team and pipeline into Ørsted's expanding U.S. renewables platform.
