“This closing represents an important milestone in advancing our 2026 and 2027 development pipeline,” said Jared Haines, CEO, Catalyze.
The Houston-headquartered Catalyze’s portfolio is largely made up of community solar projects, including two in Massachusetts co-located with other technologies: the 252kW 66 Galen project paired with a 125kW energy storage system and 15 EV charging ports, and the 6.3MW Blackstone community solar project co-located with a 3MW energy storage facility.
In April 2025, Catalyze and RBC partnered on a tax equity investment to support a 75MW solar portfolio. The investment expanded Catalyze’s portfolio, which included over 300MW of operating and under-construction assets, led by the 6.5MW Amherst community solar project in New York.
