116 Huntington Ave, Suite 601, Boston, Massachusetts, 02116, United States

Overview

BlueWave develops, owns, and operates community solar projects across the Northeast U.S., with a focus on programs that deliver utility bill savings and decarbonize the grid. The company is a certified B Corp and has developed 46.4 MWDC in Maine to date. The newly completed Maine portfolio adds 22.7 MWDC and delivers bill credit savings to 43 small businesses while producing enough energy to support an estimated 4,685 households. Construction of the four project sites was completed in 2024 and the projects participate in Maine’s Net Energy Billing program. BlueWave recently completed projects in Massachusetts under the SMART program that deliver bill credit savings to low-income households. The company was advised on the transaction by Novogradac, KPMG, and Foley Hoag and cites ongoing support from parent company Axium Infrastructure. BlueWave is a certified B Corp that develops, owns, and operates solar and battery storage projects across Massachusetts. Led by CEO Trevor Hardy, the company focuses on projects that conserve farmland, support underserved residents, and deliver clean energy bill credits. BlueWave is building five agrivoltaics projects in Massachusetts under the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) Program. These projects are designed to benefit landowners, farmers, and surrounding communities while supplying clean energy to the grid. They are expected to begin commercial operation later this year and will deliver bill credit savings to about 770 low-income households and enough energy to power roughly 2,570 Massachusetts households. BlueWave estimates the projects will offset carbon emissions equivalent to 2,500 cars or what 540,000 mature trees could absorb. The company plans to use the recently raised financing to construct and provide long-term financing for these projects.
