The agreement is also intended to fund a portfolio spanning five US states and consisting of almost 100 community solar projects, alongside energy storage capacity totalling 120MWh.

Currently, it provides clean energy access to approximately 40,000 customers across 10 states, offering discounts on green energy of up to 20% with no credit checks or long-term contracts.

Nexamp has nearly 1GW of solar and energy storage assets operating and under construction.

Zaid Ashai, CEO at Nexamp, said: “This funding represents a show of confidence in our team and vision, and we are committed to continuing to provide solutions to address surging clean energy demand.”

The new funding comes on the heels of Nexamp’s recent agreement with Walmart to subscribe to 23 of Nexamp’s New York community solar farms.

Peter Tawczynski, CFO at Nexamp, added: “We have enjoyed unprecedented growth over the past year, and this investment gives us resources to maintain our momentum, creating the foundation for a more equitable clean energy future.”
