About

Chip Brubaker

AccelDev was launched in 2022 to back the people who actually get clean energy built: local developers. We put development capital to work with early-stage solar and storage developers, then bring the rest of what it takes: deal structuring, project finance expertise, market intelligence, and a committed buyer for finished projects. The result is a small local team that can outperform larger players.

“The developers who win are the ones with a real edge in their own market: they know the utility, the land, and the permitting path better than anyone flying in from out of town. We built AccelDev to give those developers the capital and the platform to turn that edge into Community Infrastructure, solar and storage built where it's most needed.”
— Chip Brubaker

AccelDev is backed by Madison Energy Infrastructure.
