Energy development across the United States

Land, developed
into power.

North Star International develops community and utility-scale solar, wind, gas, and geothermal projects across the United States.

We take energy projects from the first land evaluation to construction handoff.

North Star works directly with landowners while development, finance, real estate, and engineering move the project forward together.

3+ GW of power generation developed
25 years of development experience
15 states and countries with completed projects

Community and utility scale

The scale is real.

More than three gigawatts of power generation developed over 25 years.

From potential
to build-ready.
