About Us | The Roadmap

Aware of the energy landscape’s imminent change, and its remarkable opportunity, Citizenrē is positioning itself to be the world’s leader in the development of renewable energy infrastructure. Through project development and strategic alliances, Citizenrē is on its way to becoming a Top-5 global photovoltaic (“PV”) manufacturer, the largest global photovoltaic system installer, and the No.1 owner/operator of PV generating assets.

Our initial manufacturing plant – an integrated wafer/cell/panel line – has a designed PV production capacity of 500 MW per year. Citizenrē is building out a nationwide service footprint of approximately 100 franchises to distribute the plant’s annual capacity and to provide packaged services to the self-generation, competitive suppliers and utilities consumers. This scale-driven approach gives Citizenrē the unique opportunity to deliver devices and services to its customers at a price that makes renewable energy cost-competitive with traditional energy.

The roadmap beyond its initial start-up, and on to a goal of 25% net electricity generation by 2025, will require that the Company take advantage of net-metering laws to deliver undisrupted to the Residential (end-use) sector. We will also need to leverage renewable portfolio standards (“RPS”) to insure utility support of net-metered customers and to promote installation of large-scale RE for grid-support.

A critical component of this plan is to introduce and position advanced electricity exchange points as a principal component of distributed systems. Initially, these exchange points will provide monitoring services for the efficient operating and maintenance of the field assets, in addition to enabling transparency of consumer consumption habits. Eventually, the technology will evolve into a sophisticated and elegant exchange board to introduce opt-in demand-side management and real-time control of distributed generation and storage for enhanced grid performance and reliability.

The energy landscape of tomorrow, nonetheless, must deal with the exploding growth of China and India, and the consequential diminishing fuel supplies. So, Citizenrē will use the next ten years to increase plant scale by an order of magnitude and fully expects that it will decrease cost-of-goods-sold by fifty (50%) percent. The efforts of such actions will push Photovoltaics beyond cost competitiveness and into the realm of low-cost leader. An achievement of such importance will all but guarantee that distributed, renewable energy is the first choice for any sector decision maker.

Even though PV generation matches the peak demand curve very nicely, the issue of intermittency and diurnal generation still plays as a significant barrier. In order to overcome this barrier, Citizenrē plans to include new energy storage technologies (such as, compressed air energy storage and flywheel energy storage systems) in the distributed environment to firm intermittent energy sources. Energy storage will provide a means to flatten the peak demand curve and guarantee energy supply to distributed storage customers during delivery disruptions.

The Company will use the ten years leading up to 2025 to increase plant scale by an order of magnitude, yet again. A decrease in the cost-of-goods-sold by another factor of two should coincide with this work, but the primary purpose of such action is to have renewable energy make a considerable impact on the Electric Industry. And without aggressive behavior – as outlined in this Roadmap, renewable energy will never make the impression that we need it to, and the Vision of the Company will never be realized.

The Citizenrē Corporation’s purpose is to modernize the global energy infrastructure and to increase global energy supplies. In fulfilling such a purpose, Citizenrē expects to use its technologies and know-how to capitalize on the projected 59% increase in world energy demand over the next 25 years – and, of course, the correlative $17 trillion in needed investment. In return, Citizenrē believes that its efforts to modernize the energy infrastructure and increase energy supplies will lead to sustained growth and socioeconomic stability.
