PureSky Energy

What PureSky Energy does

PureSky Energy (legal entity PureSky Community Solar Inc.), founded in 2016 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, is a private developer, owner, and operator of community solar farms and battery energy storage assets in the United States. The company builds distributed-generation solar projects with capacities typically in the low-to-mid double-digit MW range, paired increasingly with DC-coupled battery storage, and sells subscription shares of those projects to residential, commercial, non-profit, government, and income-qualified (LMI) customers who receive credits on their utility electricity bills. As of December 2025, PureSky reported more than 200 MW of operational solar capacity across multiple states (New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, with Pennsylvania listed as an active market) representing 52 active or under-construction project sites, an 821 MW development pipeline, and 935 battery storage units built or under contract; the company claims 10,000+ community solar subscribers and $17 million+ in customer savings delivered to date.

PureSky operates a direct-to-consumer, community-led GTM in which end-customers enroll via a zip-code-based web portal, U.S.-based phone and email customer care, community events, referral programs, and affinity partnerships; landowners are acquired as B2B site hosts for new projects. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription billings equivalent to a roughly 10% discount on each subscriber's electricity share (typical household savings of ~$200/year and ~$4,000 over 20 years), supplemented by landowner lease payments. A meaningful portion of new project capacity — particularly under NYSERDA's Inclusive Community Solar Adder and the New York Expanded Solar for All (ESFA) program — reserves 60% or 100% of capacity for low-to-moderate income subscribers, creating a structurally subsidy-aligned revenue model in regulated state markets.

The company is privately held, having been acquired in June 2023 by a consortium of Fiera Infrastructure Inc. and Palisade Infrastructure Group from its prior parent Amp Solar Group Inc.; it was rebranded from Amp US to PureSky Energy at that time. Since acquisition it has secured a $150 million revolving credit facility with Nomura Securities International (November 2023), closed multiple solar portfolios at $100M+ scale (2020–2022), achieved GRESB score progression from 84 to 89 and PCI/SOC 2 readiness milestones, and installed a new leadership team in 2025–2026 led by CEO Jared Haines (previously CEO of Catalyze) and CFO Rami Khadra (formerly VP Treasury & FP&A at Amp Energy, with senior roles at Algonquin Power and Brookfield Renewable Partners).

Revenue model

1. Community Solar Subscriptions: PureSky generates revenue through community solar subscriptions where customers receive a share of electricity production credits on their utility bills. Customers pay for their portion of solar energy generated at a discount (typically 10%), creating recurring revenue. No upfront costs to subscribe and easy cancellation options drive customer acquisition.
2. Landowner Hosting Fees: Landowners earn stable income from hosting solar and energy storage solutions on their property, creating a B2B revenue stream for site acquisition.
