One Power Company, previously known as One Energy, is a privately held American industrial power enterprise based in Findlay, Ohio. The firm specializes in the development, ownership, and operation of industrial-scale power systems and holds the leading position in the U.S. for on-site megawatt-level wind energy installations, representing more than 40% of the distributed wind capacity installed during 2019.
Its portfolio includes energy solutions designed specifically for industrial customers, such as Wind for Industry and Managed High Voltage offerings. In 2023, the company introduced the industry’s first fully digital transmission-voltage substation, reinforcing its advancement in technology.
History
Established in 2009 in Marshall, Minnesota by CEO Jereme Kent, One Power moved its headquarters to Findlay, Ohio in 2011. There, it completed a significant installation project for Cooper Farms. The company’s standard projects generally consist of one to three turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5 MW, delivering localized wind power directly to industrial clients.
Its subsidiaries include One Power Solutions LLC, One Power Energy Services, One Energy Capital LLC, and One Energy Capital Corporation. Serving clients among the Fortune 500, the company also supports workforce development through its "Megawatt Scholarship," which has provided $5,000 annually per turbine to local STEM students since 2014.
In August 2017, One Power entered into a strategic supply partnership with Goldwind Americas to secure up to 60 MW of turbine components stored at the North Findlay Electrified Industrial Park, aiming to shorten lead times for upcoming projects.
Wind for Industry
The company's premier offering, Wind for Industry, entails installing utility-scale wind turbines directly on-site and connecting them behind the facility’s utility meter (distributed generation). This method substantially decreases industrial facilities’ dependence on external electrical grids.
Capabilities
Operating as a fully integrated entity, One Power oversees all aspects of project delivery including financing, development, engineering, procurement, construction, and operations. Conceptual engineering is conducted internally while external engineers provide quality assurance. Comprehensive internal evaluations cover financial modeling, customized studies, permitting processes, utility coordination, and wind resource analysis.
Customers are commonly presented with power purchase agreements (PPAs) that allow fixed-rate payments over a 20-year term while the company assumes capital costs. Alternatively, clients may opt to acquire turbines outright. The inclusion of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) is also available. Proprietary software tools facilitate detailed site assessments addressing sound levels, microwave interference, shadow flicker effects, ice throw potential, and wake impacts. The company manages land acquisition and FAA permitting requirements and coordinates utility interconnection approvals alongside local regulatory agencies on behalf of its clients.
