About GridReserve
We're Illinois business owners building the energy infrastructure that will power our state's sustainable future.
Our Mission
GridReserve accelerates the rollout of distributed-scale energy storage in Illinois by partnering with property owners and institutional investors to build critical grid infrastructure. We believe in transparent partnerships, guaranteed payments, and contributing to Illinois' clean energy transition.
Our Goal
Deploy utility-scale battery storage across Illinois to support the state's 3 GW storage mandate by 2030, creating value for landowners and investors while strengthening grid reliability.
Our Team
Founded by experienced Illinois entrepreneurs with deep expertise in energy infrastructure, real estate development, and project finance. We're committed to building long-term relationships based on trust and performance.
Our Approach
We focus on sub-5 MW distribution-connected projects that qualify for fast-track interconnection and maximize state incentives. This strategy reduces risk and accelerates deployment timelines.
Our Impact
Every GridReserve project creates predictable income for landowners, infrastructure-grade returns for investors, and supports Illinois' transition to a cleaner, more resilient electrical grid.
Why Illinois?
Illinois offers a unique combination of policy support, grid needs, and economic incentives that make battery storage projects highly attractive.

Our Commitment to Partners
For Landowners
Your lease is our foundation. Your income is non-negotiable. We value landowners as true partners and structure every agreement to provide predictable, guaranteed payments for the life of the project.
For Investors
We provide transparent reporting, conservative underwriting, and access to a pipeline of projects backed by state mandates and federal incentives.
For Illinois
Every project we build strengthens the state's electrical grid, supports the transition to clean energy, and creates local economic value through lease payments and infrastructure investment.
For the Grid
Battery storage is essential for grid reliability as renewable energy grows. Our systems store energy during low-demand periods and release it during peak hours, helping balance supply and demand.
