Partners
Cloudbreak Energy develops, owns and operates community solar, distributed generation and battery storage. Getting a project from a raw parcel to an operating asset takes utilities willing to interconnect it, capital willing to fund it, developers who know their markets, and customers who commit to the power. These are the counterparties behind our portfolio.
01
Corporate power purchase agreement
In September 2026 Cloudbreak signed a power purchase agreement with Google for a dedicated solar facility of up to 9.6 MWac, delivered under Xcel Energy’s Off-Site Net Metering program and credited against Google’s Boulder campus. It is our first major corporate PPA with a global technology company, and the product of more than a year of work together. Commercial operation is expected before the end of 2028.
02
Colorado · Solar and Storage Programs
The majority of Cloudbreak’s awarded portfolio interconnects to Xcel’s Colorado distribution system, delivered through Solar*Rewards Community and virtual net metering. Xcel’s Off-Site Net Metering program is also the vehicle for our corporate power purchase agreement with Google.
Colorado · Solar and Storage Programs
Partner on both sides of our business. Cloudbreak is delivering community solar in Black Hills’ Colorado territory, including the Silver Cliff garden, alongside a 50 MW battery energy storage facility built and transferred to serve the utility’s capacity needs.
03
Equity capital
GETEC Energie Holding is a family-controlled energy group based in Hannover, Germany, and holds an equity position in Cloudbreak Energy. GETEC has been an instrumental, strategic partner to Cloudbreak in making its transition to an Independent Power Producer, and Cloudbreak serves as GETEC’s entry investment into the United States energy market.
Project finance
Norddeutsche Landesbank is among the longest-standing project finance banks in global renewables, with decades of wind and solar lending across Europe and North America. Institutional debt of that depth is what lets a developer hold assets rather than sell them.
Structured equity & tax credits
Bildmore invests structured equity in clean energy projects and specializes in the transferable tax credit market created by the Inflation Reduction Act. That capital is purpose-built for community-scale solar and storage, the segment where Cloudbreak operates.
Tax credit transfer
Crux helped Cloudbreak line up safe harbor financing for a 106 MW portfolio of community solar projects. Crux runs the largest marketplace for transferable clean energy tax credits, connecting developers with corporate buyers under the transferability rules created by the Inflation Reduction Act, which gives us a competitive, transparent route to capital as the portfolio builds out.
04
Portfolio counterparty
A distributed solar and storage owner-operator, and the counterparty on the largest block of projects Cloudbreak has taken from greenfield to notice to proceed. Eleven Cloudbreak-developed community solar gardens in Xcel territory now sit in GSPP’s portfolio.
Portfolio M&A partner
A community solar and storage developer with one of the deepest track records in the Midwest, including a first-place standing among Minnesota developers. Working with teams that know their own markets is how Cloudbreak expands beyond Colorado without guessing.
Portfolio M&A partner
A community-scale solar developer active from the Mid-Atlantic to the Mountain West. ECA and Cloudbreak have carried projects through award, permitting and construction together, including the operating garden in Greeley, Colorado that carries the ECA name.
Portfolio M&A partner
In 2025 Cloudbreak developed and sold a 13 MWdc project to RWE. The project held an early-stage interconnection queue position with its site lease secured at the time of sale, and is expected to reach notice to proceed in 2027. RWE is one of the largest owners and operators of renewable generation in the United States.
Portfolio M&A partner
In 2023 Cloudbreak developed and sold a 6.5 MWdc project to Invenergy. Invenergy is a privately held developer, owner and operator of clean energy projects across North America.
05
Battery energy storage
Cloudbreak’s storage projects are built around Tesla’s grid-scale battery systems, among the most widely deployed utility-scale storage platforms in North America. Storage is no longer an add-on to our solar work; it is half the business.
Engineering, procurement & construction
Linxon is a specialist EPC in high-voltage substation work, serving utilities, generators and industrial customers worldwide. They build the substation and grid connection that turns a permitted project into a delivering one.
Cloudbreak has over 66.3 MWdc of sites under active development in major East Coast markets such as Virginia, New York, and others. These projects span large distributed projects with utilities such as Dominion as well as community solar projects in National Grid and NYSEG service territories.
Cloudbreak Energy has been awarded 8 MWdc of distributed solar projects in Iowa. Cloudbreak is actively developing more than 23 MWdc of distributed and community solar projects in several Midwest markets and across multiple utility territories, such as WE Energies, WPS, and Xcel.
Cloudbreak Energy has 70+ MWdc of distributed solar and solar plus storage projects in active development in various counties across the Pacific Northwest and in California. The West Coast is a large focus area for the firm as community and distributed solar legislation gains momentum in some of those key markets.
Cloudbreak has been awarded 70+MWdc of distributed and community solar projects with Xcel, Black Hills, and Mountain Parks Electric which are in various stages of maturity, ranging from permitting to COD. Cloudbreak also has 180 MWdc of utility scale solar and 212.2 MWdc of distributed and community solar projects under active development.
