OUR MISSION

How we’re bringing our vision to life

To responsibly develop and build clean energy solutions that reliably meet our growing energy demand.

We believe in the power of people.

Deploying gigawatts of clean energy takes a diverse team, united by our mission and driven by shared values. No matter our role, our values keep us moving forward together.

Ownership

Accountability drives excellence.

We own our work, set clear expectations and empower each other to take initiative. As teammates, we rely on and support one another, striving for excellence to achieve our shared goals.


Integrity

Respect and trust propel business forward.

We act responsibly and with integrity, treating colleagues, customers, and communities as true partners. We take pride in creating solutions that benefit everyone.

Teamwork

We are strongest when we work together.

We thrive through collaboration, working as one team to advance our goals and mission. Together, we embrace challenges, solve problems, and celebrate our successes—finding joy in what we build as a team.

Openness

Diverse perspectives inspire better solutions.

We bring together people with diverse experiences and perspectives to deliver the best results. By encouraging open dialogue and valuing each other’s input, we uncover new ideas and develop solutions in our relentless pursuit of better.

Backed by leading financial institutions

Avantus is majority-owned by global investment firm KKR, with global energy investor EIG as the sole minority equity partner. Together, these leading financial institutions have committed more than $1 billion to support the growth and execution of Avantus’ clean energy portfolio.

The climate crisis is real.

Climate change is the greatest threat to our ecosystems—and our future. About one-third of U.S. emissions come from burning fossil fuels for electricity. Avantus is proud to be driving bold climate solutions that are decarbonizing the planet and helping build a more prosperous future for all.

Protecting the climate for future generations will take all of us.
