Captona LLC (Captona), a leading energy investment firm in North America, today announced its latest preferred equity investment in partnership with Nexamp, Inc. (Nexamp), America’s largest fully-integrated distributed generation and community solar company.

This investment supports the financing of 55MW of solar generation and 5MWh of battery storage capacity across 10 projects in four states (Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York). This transaction marks the next phase in Captona’s continued innovation of its preferred-equity solution, highlighting the team’s ability to deploy capital with flexibility and scale.

Captona has been a market leader since rolling out its preferred equity structure in 2023. Partnering with an industry-leading solar developer in Nexamp represents a step forward in Captona’s preferred equity program and demonstrates the trust it has built with industry leaders.

“We’re proud to invest in projects delivered by a best-in-class company like Nexamp, demonstrating Captona’s ability to meet the evolving needs of our partners,” said Izzet Bensusan, CEO and Founder of Captona. “As power demand continues to accelerate, we’re further scaling our investments to support our partners and the development of critical energy infrastructure.”

“Meeting rising energy demand requires us to bring new generation online quickly, and that takes strong, flexible partnerships across the industry,” said Anjali Patel, Vice President of Capital Markets & Strategy at Nexamp. “This investment from Captona will help advance a diverse portfolio of solar and storage projects that can deliver meaningful benefits to individuals and communities—from greater access to local clean energy to stronger, more resilient power systems.”
