Catalyze develops and operates distributed renewable energy projects and serves as an independent power producer for commercial, industrial, and public sector customers. Its platform combines proprietary REenergyze technology with asset development and operations expertise to streamline planning, financing, deployment, and operation of solar and storage assets. The company intends to use new capital to accelerate origination, financing, and deployment, support acquisitions, and advance early-stage project development. Catalyze closed a $200 million three-year facility from Deutsche Bank that comprises revolving and term debt plus a letter of credit to provide flexible expansion capital. Earlier in 2025 it secured $400 million from ATLAS SP Partners and an $85 million tax equity investment from RBC, bringing total capital raised in 2025 to nearly $700 million. These financings position Catalyze to scale its model, meet rising demand for distributed energy solutions, and expand its footprint nationwide.
