Catalyze is a clean energy transition company that functions as an independent power producer (IPP) for the commercial and industrial (C&I) sectors. Founded in 2017, the company develops, builds, owns, and operates integrated renewable energy assets, including solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) charging systems.
The company's business model is centered on partnering with C&I real estate owners and renewable energy developers to transform properties into sources of clean energy. Catalyze offers solutions with no upfront capital expenditure for property owners, turning potential cost centers into revenue-generating amenities that can increase property value and attract tenants. The company makes money by developing and operating these renewable energy projects, often under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). Its clients include commercial and industrial real estate owners, business operators, tenants, and renewable energy developers.
A key component of Catalyze's strategy is its proprietary software platform, REenergyze®, which streamlines the entire process from project origination to operations. This technology, along with another proprietary asset called SolarStrap® for rooftop panel mounting, enables the company to rapidly scale the deployment of standardized and configurable energy systems across the country. The firm has actively pursued a market consolidation strategy, acquiring companies like PermaCity, Prisma Energy Solutions, and Sol Alliance to enhance its capabilities. Catalyze has secured significant financing to fuel its growth, including a $400 million multiyear debt facility in March 2025 and an $85 million tax equity investment in April 2025. The company has a substantial project portfolio, with over 300 MW in operation or construction and a development pipeline exceeding 1 GW.
