Aegis Renewable Energy

What Aegis Renewable Energy does

Aegis Renewable Energy, Inc. is a Vermont-based, privately held commercial and community-scale solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm founded in 2011 as a spinoff of the Wind Division of Alteris Renewables (originally as Aegis Wind, LLC, later rebranded). The company designs, permits, builds, commissions, and maintains solar PV systems and battery energy storage installations ranging from 150 kW to 5 MW across the New England and greater Northeastern United States, with active projects in Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine. Since founding, Aegis has deployed more than 17 MW across 40+ ground-mounted and rooftop commercial solar projects, including 2,469.20 kW DC installed in 2024 alone.

The business operates a three-pillar service model: Project Development (feasibility, site analysis, system design, financial modeling, and grant/tax incentive identification), Construction Management (full EPC including procurement via Amicus Solar Cooperative, permitting, and commissioning), and Asset Management (O&M, monitoring, warranty administration, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation). Revenue mechanics are project-based EPC contracts supplemented by recurring O&M and asset management fees on the installed base. Customer segments split between municipalities and towns (Colchester, Warren, Hempstead), commercial enterprises and farms (Lawson's Finest Liquids, Vermont Creamery, Kingsbury Companies, Heritage Aviation, Laurentide Housing, Green Mountain Power), and community solar farms (Boardman Hill, Mad River, Hinesburg). The go-to-market is a consultative, relationship-driven direct sales motion offering free project and site assessments.

Aegis operates with approximately 19 employees out of its Waitsfield, Vermont headquarters. The leadership team is led by founder/CEO Nils Behn (23+ years in renewable energy; formerly of Northern Power Systems and Alteris Renewables), VP Sonia Behn (finance and accounting), VP of Operations Heath Galloway (joined 2024, ex-Sungevity/SunPower), and CFO Ryan Robbins. Strategic positioning rests on Amicus Solar Cooperative and Amicus O&M Cooperative memberships, regional New England brand recognition (2025 Solar Power World Top Solar Contractor, No. 275 nationally), and full-stack turnkey execution from feasibility through long-term asset management. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.
