SunVest Again Named to Crain’s “Fast 50” List of Chicago’s Fastest-Growing Companies
For Second Straight Year, SunVest stands alone as the list’s sole clean energy company
Chicago, IL – SunVest, one of the largest vertically integrated developers of distributed generation clean energy projects in the U.S., today announced it ranked #25 on the Crain’s Chicago Business “Fast 50” list, the yearly ranking of the Chicago area’s fastest-growing privately held companies. SunVest was the first renewable energy company ever named to the list and is again the only clean energy company on it this year.
The “Fast 50” spotlights companies with exceptional revenue growth over the past five years, determined through independent financial analysis by Crain’s. The recognition underscores SunVest’s momentum in its sector and expanding footprint across Illinois and the country.
“This announcement speaks to the growing demand for affordable, reliable energy across the country and our team’s hard work to meet that need,” said SunVest CEO Bram Walters. “We are proud to be leading the way in addressing America’s growing energy demand by delivering clean, low-cost power to the communities and customers we serve.”
Now in its 19th year, Fast 50 ranks the Chicago area’s fastest-growing companies by their revenue growth percentage over the past five years.
Launched in 2009, SunVest has developed and built more than 600 megawatts of solar projects plus a pipeline of more than 2.5 gigawatts. The company ranks among the Midwest’s most seasoned distributed generation developers. Headquartered in Chicago’s West Loop, SunVest is committed to the city’s deep talent pool and Illinois’ expanding demand for low-cost energy.
“Our growth isn’t only about getting bigger—it’s about reshaping how energy gets produced, delivered, and used in local communities,” Walters added. “We’re honored to be counted among the leaders in Chicago’s business community, and even more so to be expanding access to clean, low–cost energy in Illinois and across the country.”
