Apr 2024Undisclosed stageManulife Investment Management (lead); Generate Capital; Diamond Generating Corp$520MNexamp is the nation's largest community solar developer and owner, as well as a leading independent renewable energy provider specializing in solar and storage projects. The company operates in over 20 markets across 17 states, serving nearly 80,000 customers with a portfolio of more than 1.5 gigawatts of generating and in-construction capacity capable of powering over 300,000 households. It has several additional gigawatts of project capacity in development with the potential to power over one million customers. On April 10, 2024, Nexamp secured $520 million in an equity capital raise led by Manulife Investment Management, with participation from existing investors Diamond Generating Corporation (a Mitsubishi subsidiary) and Generate Capital. This funding, described as unprecedented for the sector, will expedite deployment of its national project pipeline, onshore its supply chain, accelerate expansion and developer partnerships in new and existing markets, and support growth of generation and consumer-driven offerings including community solar programs. Nexamp's fully-integrated business model emphasizes grid integration, partnerships with utilities for resiliency and interconnection solutions without major wire buildouts, and scalability in a high-interest environment focused on profitability. Since Mitsubishi's initial 2016 investment when Nexamp managed about 40MW, it has achieved exponential growth to over 1.5GW. The raise validates community solar's role in grid reliability, flexibility, and democratizing clean energy access, particularly for low- and moderate-income residents and businesses. Investors highlighted Nexamp's exceptional platform to meet market demands amid growing distributed renewable energy needs and federal climate funding tailwinds. CEO Zaid Ashai noted the funding institutionalizes the fragmented community solar ecosystem, driving down costs and enhancing sophistication in interconnection and consumer issues.
Aug 2021Undisclosed stageGenerate Capital (lead)$240MNexamp secured a $240 million equity investment led by Generate Capital in August 2021, accompanied by a $440 million senior secured credit facility, bringing total new funding to $680 million. The company is a distributed solar and energy storage solutions developer that operates an industry-leading community solar platform, providing clean energy access to approximately 40,000 customers across 10 states with guaranteed savings on electricity costs of up to 20% and no credit checks or long-term contracts required. At the time of the funding, Nexamp had nearly 300 megawatts of renewable energy generating assets in operation, nearly 1 gigawatt of solar and energy storage assets operating and under construction, and a development pipeline of nearly 300 new solar and storage projects across five states including approximately 100 community solar projects with 120 MWh of energy storage capacity. The company had more than 300 employees, having tripled its workforce in less than three years, and generated significant momentum from partnerships including a recent agreement with Walmart to subscribe to 23 New York community solar farms representing approximately 50 MW of the portfolio. The funding was intended to accelerate Nexamp's expansion into new markets, support workforce growth, develop additional retail offerings for customers, and enhance its position as a leading clean energy solutions provider addressing surging demand for decarbonization options.
Aug 2018Undisclosed stage-$54MNexamp is a leading developer, owner, and operator of community solar, utility-scale solar, and battery storage projects across the United States, powering hundreds of thousands of households. Founded in 2007 and based in Boston, the company has grown significantly since Mitsubishi Corporation acquired an initial stake in 2016 and made it a subsidiary in 2018, expanding from 40MW to over 1.5GW in managed capacity. It focuses on community solar to provide bill savings for subscribers, averaging $275 annually per household, and has developed projects for clients like Walmart. Nexamp has secured multiple large financings since then, including a $520 million capital raise in April 2024 led by Manulife Investment Management with Diamond Generating Corporation and Generate Capital. Other recent raises include over $400 million in tax equity and debt in May 2023 from U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance and Mitsubishi UFJ Finance Group to fund 49 projects across six states, creating jobs and $6.5 million in annual bill savings. In 2025, it obtained $350 million from Macquarie Asset Management for over 1GW of utility-scale solar and storage, plus capital from Nomura. Nexamp plans to reach nearly 3GW capacity by 2028 with a $3.9 billion investment, using domestic panels from Silfab Solar, and has raised over $1.5 billion cumulatively through equity, tax equity, and debt.
