CleanChoice Energy is a U.S.-based energy provider specializing in delivering renewable power to customers and managing solar energy installations. Established in 2012 in Washington, D.C., the company operates primarily within the green energy sector as a retail electricity supplier.
History
Originally launched in 2012 by Tom Matzzie under the name Ethical Electric, the business adopted the CleanChoice Energy brand in 2016. In April 2023, True Green Capital Management acquired a controlling interest by investing $100 million, aiming to broaden CleanChoice’s portfolio of solar assets and operations across various states.
In November 2023, CleanChoice secured its initial wholly owned solar facility, a 25.2 MW project located in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. This installation is projected to supply electricity to around 4,500 households and is scheduled to connect to the PJM grid by December 2024.
The company announced in October 2024 the purchase of a second fully owned solar development in Kylertown, Pennsylvania, with an estimated capacity of 29.42 MW.
By June 2025, CleanChoice further expanded its footprint by acquiring two solar projects situated in Washington and Rensselaer Counties, New York. Together, these sites are expected to produce approximately 54.2 MW of renewable energy once operational.
Scholarship
In June 2025, CleanChoice Energy introduced the Flywheel Future Scholarship program. This annual award is granted to a graduating senior from the local school district during the first four years following each solar project's commencement. The scholarship aims to assist students pursuing higher education or vocational training.
