Independent Power and Renewable Electricity Producers

This group collects Utilities sector members that generate electricity for sale into competitive or wholesale markets rather than operating as a rate regulated utility with a defined service territory: merchant power generation companies, competitive retail electricity providers spun off from regulated utility parents, dedicated renewable energy developers and operators building and running wind, solar and hydroelectric assets, community owned renewable energy cooperatives, and infrastructure investment companies whose utility sector holdings are renewable generation assets. A handful of members here, including a diversified infrastructure investment company with holdings outside the utility sector entirely, are placed here as the closest fit among these five groups rather than left ungrouped, named in this lane's own landing rather than left silent.
