MN8 Energy LLC (“MN8” or “The Company”) today announced the formation of its “Distributed Energy Solutions” (DES) offering, simplifying the path to holistic decarbonization for enterprise customers. DES’s initial focus on transportation electrification consists of three primary verticals, marrying public charging and fleet electrification, with distributed carbon-free energy solutions. Through DES, customers gain full access to MN8’s 475 years of aggregate experience across renewable energy development, finance, construction, and operations, as well as specialized expertise in the logistics and fleet management industries.

MN8 supports the needs of businesses and communities working to decarbonize their operations and support the rapid adoption of electric vehicles. The DES offering aims to deliver scalable, fully financed, turnkey projects that are not only environmentally responsible but also economically viable, helping customers achieve both sustainability and financial goals.
