Emeren (formerly ReneSola Power)

What Emeren (formerly ReneSola Power) does

Emeren Group Ltd, founded in 2005 as ReneSola Power and rebranded in 2023, is a global pure-play renewable energy developer and asset operator specializing in utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects and battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions. The company manages the full project lifecycle from site assessment, permitting, and grid interconnection through construction management and long-term asset operation, maintaining a development pipeline of approximately 6.3 GW of solar capacity and 7.5 GW of storage capacity across North America, Europe, and Asia. Emeren serves utility-scale developers and operators, commercial and industrial (C&I) clients, data center operators, and European renewable energy offtakers through direct enterprise sales supported by 12 offices across the United States, 9 European countries, and China.

The company's core offerings include Solar Development (from community solar gardens to utility-scale farms), Battery Storage solutions providing grid stability with 2-8 hour durations, Hybrid Solutions integrating PV-plus-storage for 24/7 clean energy delivery, Asset Operation as an Independent Power Producer (IPP), and a Data Center IPP Storage Solution purpose-built for mission-critical power requirements. In China, Emeren operates approximately 170 MW of distributed C&I solar projects as an IPP with modular and digitalized EPC practices, while in Europe and North America the company primarily develops projects to RTB (Ready-to-Build), NTP (Notice to Proceed), or COD (Commercial Operation Date) milestones for strategic sale to third-party buyers, with selective retention of assets as long-term IPP holdings. The product portfolio extends into agrivoltaics and floating PV installations in Europe.

Emeren generates revenue through multiple streams including one-time project development sales at NTP/COD milestones, recurring IPP power generation revenue, and minority equity investment returns from partnered projects. GTM motion is enterprise field sales with bespoke contractual arrangements rather than standardized pricing. On December 15, 2025, the company completed a merger with Shurya Vitra Ltd. and Emeren Holdings Ltd, resulting in its delisting from the NYSE, deregistration from the SEC, and Emeren becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emeren Holdings Ltd under private ownership.

Revenue model

1. Project Development and Strategic Sale: Emeren develops solar and storage projects through to RTB (Ready-to-Build) or COD (Commercial Operation Date) stages and sells them strategically to third-party buyers. The company offers flexible partnership models including NTP (Notice to Proceed) sales and COD sales, capturing value across the project lifecycle.
2. Independent Power Producer (IPP) Operations: Emeren selectively retains ownership of certain solar and storage assets to operate as an Independent Power Producer, generating long-term recurring revenue from power generation. The company currently operates approximately 170 MW of commercial and industrial solar projects in China and has a growing global IPP portfolio.
3. Minority Equity Investments: Emeren takes minority equity positions in projects alongside strategic partners, generating investment returns and maintaining operational involvement in assets without full capital commitment.
