Chariot Energy is a retail electricity provider based in Houston, Texas[1]. Established in
2019, Chariot Energy operates as a subsidiary of 174 Power Global[2].
Overview
[edit]Chariot Energy operates within the deregulated Texas electricity market under the oversight of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)[3]. Texas is one of 18 states in the country that uses some level of deregulation, while no market in the country is completely deregulated[4]. The company provides 100% renewable energy to customers in Texas[5]. The CEO of the company is In Kyu Park[6].
History
[edit]Chariot Energy was founded in 2019, being named as a retail affiliate of 174 Power Global to facilitate the delivery of electricity across Texas[7]. 174 Power Global is an affiliate of the South Korean conglomerate, Hanwha Group[8]. This came after the approval of an amendment to the retail electric provider (REP) certificate held by 174 Power Global Retail Texas, LLC[2]. This certificate gave the company the authority to use the trade name, Chariot Energy[9].
In June 2019, 174 Power Global announced plans to construct the Oberon Solar Power Facility on 1,500 acres in West Texas[10]. The facility, which includes 656,000 solar panels, was designed to produce 180 megawatts of power for up to 30,000 Texas homes[11]. Later that year, Chariot Energy began providing electricity to customers across Texas, particularly on The Public Utility Commission of Texas' (PUCT) Power to Choose website[12].
By August 2020, the Oberon Solar Power Facility was completed, and a power purchase agreement (PPA) was in place between 174 Power Global and Chariot Energy for 30 megawatts of solar energy[10].
In early 2024, Chariot Energy relocated its offices to 5051 Westheimer Road, Galleria Tower 2, in Houston, Texas[13].
Recognition
[edit]- At S&P Global's CERAWeek 2024, Chariot Energy spoke at a session focusing on the Energy Transition & Grid Reliability in Texas[14].
- At 2024's Energy Marketing Conference, Chariot Energy was recognized as Energy Supplier of the Year[15].
