Catalyze Secures $85 Million Tax Equity Investment From RBC To Grow Distributed Energy Portfolio

Catalyze, a fully integrated developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) specializing in distributed renewable energy assets, has secured an $85 million tax equity investment from RBC Community Investments. The funding will support the construction and completion of approximately 75 MW of commercial and industrial (C&I) and community solar projects across the United States, scheduled for delivery in 2025.

This investment strengthens Catalyze’s position in the distributed generation sector and highlights its ongoing ability to secure significant tax equity financing. The company’s development pipeline now includes 300 MW of projects either operational or under construction. The transaction also deepens Catalyze’s partnership with RBC, reflecting a shared goal of scaling renewable energy deployment nationwide.

Jared Haines, CEO of Catalyze, stated, “RBC is a valued financing partner, and we are pleased to further expand our relationship with this latest investment. This financing enables us to further our mission to bring scalable distributed generation projects to businesses and communities nationwide.”

Jonathan Cheng, Managing Director at RBC, also added, “RBC’s investment in this portfolio demonstrates our commitment to advancing clean energy solutions within local communities. We are excited to partner with Catalyze on the strategic deployment of these and future projects.”

RBC’s investment will enable Catalyze to expand its footprint in the distributed solar market, delivering clean energy solutions to a broad range of stakeholders, including property owners, businesses, and local communities. The company’s continued growth is backed by its private equity sponsors, EnCap Investments and Actis, who remain committed to supporting Catalyze’s long-term strategy in accelerating the transition to renewable energy across the country.
