Catalyze’s REenergyze® Platform Earns Top Product of the Year Award from Environment + Energy Leader

Denver, CO – July 18, 2023 – Catalyze, a clean energy transition company specializing in financing, building, owning, and operating solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging systems for commercial and industrial customers, is proud to announce that its integrated origination-to-operations platform, REenergyze®, has been honored with the prestigious Top Product of the Year Award in the Environment + Energy Leader (E+E Leader) Awards program. This recognition solidifies REenergyze® as an indispensable resource in the energy transition, empowering commercial businesses and property owners to effectively and efficiently deploy clean energy assets at scale.

The REenergyze® software platform offers insights on property assets in the United States with the highest potential for enhancing value through solar, energy storage, and EV-charging infrastructure. By streamlining the major processes of commercial solar and storage project origination, development, construction management, operations, and asset optimization, REenergyze® enables the deployment of clean energy solutions at a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional methods. 

“We’re at a point in the clean energy transition where one of our biggest challenges is to deploy solutions fast enough to effectively mitigate climate change,” said Steve Luker, CEO of Catalyze. “Targeting commercial properties represents a tremendous opportunity to pick up the pace on decarbonization, and REenergyze® is a pivotal platform for executing on this strategy. We’re thankful for E+E Leader’s recognition of the important role that our product plays in accelerating and scaling the nationwide adoption of solar, storage and EV charging.”

REenergyze®’s ability to simplify clean energy implementation was recognized by the program’s distinguished panel of judges. One judge remarked, “For commercial businesses with extensive portfolios and limited knowledge of the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects involved, the process of deploying clean energy can be arduous and time-consuming. The REenergyze® software platform allows these businesses to simplify clean energy management and avoid unnecessary costs on consulting and third party services.” Another judge added, “As increased private and public funding aims to decarbonize our economy, the reality of deploying renewable energy infrastructure is complex and filled with regulatory and logistical hurdles. REenergyze® is accelerating the energy transition for businesses of all sizes and playing an instrumental role in helping these companies reach net-zero and ESG goals.” 

The Environment + Energy Leader Awards program aims to commend excellence in products and projects that deliver significant energy and environmental benefits. Sarah Roberts, Co-President of E+E Leader, emphasized the rigorous selection process, stating, “This year’s entrants had to surpass an exceptionally high bar to qualify for an award, thanks to a seasoned and discerning judging panel as well as stringent judging criteria.”
