    Chicago, Illinois, United States

    2022

    No public employee count or revenue figures are disclosed for 2023 or later, as Reactivate operates privately under Invenergy ownership without separate financial reporting; Invenergy itself has developed over 33 gigawatts across 220 projects (source: reactivate.com).

    What They Do

    Reactivate is a privately held renewable energy company that focuses on solar energy solutions, particularly for low-to-moderate income (LMI) communities. Their technology portfolio includes community solar projects, small utility-scale solar installations, and next-generation distributed solutions such as energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure (source: reactivate.com). The company aims to provide affordable energy solutions that deliver significant bill credits to LMI households, with reductions of at least 20% in states like Illinois and New York. Reactivate's commitment to social impact is evident in its focus on underserved communities, where it serves approximately 5,000 households, with a remarkable 90% qualifying as LMI (source: prnewswire.com). Their services also include workforce training and contracts aimed at minority- and women-owned businesses, further enhancing their community engagement efforts.

    Projects & Track Record

    Reactivate has made significant strides in the renewable energy sector with notable projects, including a seven-project community solar portfolio across Illinois and New York, totaling 14.4 MWac capacity. This portfolio, launched in collaboration with Walmart and U.S. Bank, is projected to avert 667,788 metric tons of CO2 emissions and deliver over $17 million in customer savings over its lifespan (source: prnewswire.com). Ongoing initiatives include the Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) community solar projects and a partnership with Link Logistics to install solar on warehouses nationwide, which aims to enhance grid resiliency and create local job opportunities (source: linklogistics.com). The company’s geographic presence spans Illinois and New York, with ambitions to expand nationally, targeting 100,000 LMI households served.

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, Reactivate has announced a significant partnership with Link Logistics for solar installations aimed at boosting U.S. grid power and enhancing community economics (source: linklogistics.com). The company successfully launched its 14.4 MWac community solar portfolio in early 2024, which serves approximately 5,000 LMI households and is projected to generate $17 million in savings (source: prnewswire.com). Additionally, Reactivate has initiated workforce training programs targeting underserved workers, with a cohort launched in February 2023 aimed at graduating 2,500 individuals by June 2023 (source: invenergyimpact2022.com). The company is also aligned with Walmart's ambitious goal of achieving 2 GW of community solar by 2030.

    Working There

    Reactivate offers a variety of roles across development, engineering, procurement, construction, finance, operations, and community engagement, with a strong emphasis on hiring at their Chicago headquarters. The company is led by CEO Utopia Hill, who brings extensive experience from Invenergy, and the team is characterized by a youthful and dynamic culture that prioritizes impact in LMI communities (source: invenergyimpact2022.com). Reactivate's culture fosters leadership pathways in equitable renewable energy, with workforce programs designed to provide family-sustaining wages and contracts for over 100 minority- and women-owned businesses. While specific benefits packages are not publicly documented, the company emphasizes job opportunities, skill development, and economic uplift for local talent (source: linklogistics.com).
