About

Palmetto Clean Technology is a residential solar and clean energy company founded in 2010 that operates a technology platform connecting homeowners with solar installation professionals and providing business software for solar contractors. The company has built a network of thousands of homeowners and solar service providers and offers its LightReach solar service agreement that allows homeowners to go solar with no upfront cost by paying a flat monthly rate. Palmetto also develops software tools for solar installers including sales enablement, project management, and customer communication platforms, positioning itself as a technology partner for the residential solar industry. The company raised over $175M and serves customers across the continental United States. Palmetto differentiates from direct installers like Sunrun by operating as a platform that empowers a network of local installation partners rather than owning the installation workforce. As the residential solar market has matured, Palmetto has focused on the technology layer that improves the efficiency and customer experience of solar sales and installation, seeking to play the same role in solar that platforms like Salesforce play in enterprise software.

About

Eversource Energy is a Springfield, Massachusetts-based regulated electric and natural gas utility — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ES) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 4.4 million customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire through electric distribution, transmission, and natural gas distribution subsidiaries including Connecticut Light and Power (CL&P), NSTAR Electric (Massachusetts), Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), and Yankee Gas through approximately 9,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Eversource reported revenues of approximately $11.7 billion, generating regulated earnings while executing a major strategic pivot: the sale of Eversource's offshore wind equity interests — South Fork Wind (132 MW, operational), Revolution Wind (704 MW, construction), and Sunrise Wind (924 MW, development) — to Global Infrastructure Partners for $1.1 billion, exiting the offshore wind development business entirely to refocus capital on the core New England regulated utility operations. CEO Joe Nolan's strategy of offshore wind exit reflects the economics reality of inflation-driven construction cost increases that made Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind uneconomic at previously contracted power purchase agreement prices — fixed-price PPAs signed at $80-100/MWh before the 2022 inflation surge became deeply underwater when offshore wind construction costs escalated to $150-200+/MWh equivalent. The offshore wind exit releases $1.5+ billion in committed capital and eliminates the development risk that had pressured Eversource's investment-grade credit ratings.
