About Reactivate ☀️

Reactivate is a mission driven renewable energy developer, owner and operator powered by Invenergy and Lafayette Square. Our team brings together complementary impact investment and sustainable energy expertise to support renewable energy projects, including distributed solar projects (commercial, community, and small-utility scale), energy storage and EV charging projects. Reactivate is dedicated to ensuring an equitable energy future. We are a team on a path to be the country’s leading developer, financier and operator of renewable energy projects serving low-income communities. We have set bold targets to harness the power of renewable energy to generate savings for low-to-moderate income households, create jobs for underserved workers, help bring minority and women-owned businesses into the renewable energy supply chain, and help revive disinvested communities through tax payments on previously under-utilized land.
