Nextpower completes $365 million Prevalon Energy acquisition

Nextpower completes $365 million Prevalon Energy acquisition

Solar provider Nextpower has closed its acquisition of battery storage integrator Prevalon Energy, adding over 6 GWh of deployed BESS capacity to its portfolio. The company projects the deal will increase FY 2027 revenue by $200–$300 million.

Nextpower has closed its acquisition of Prevalon Energy, a US-based battery energy storage system integrator, formally entering the utility-scale energy storage market with a deal valued at $365 million. The transaction, which was first announced in May, adds a domestic manufacturer of large-scale storage products to Nextpower's existing solar PV portfolio.

Deal Brings Significant Deployed Capacity

Prevalon Energy specializes in utility-scale battery energy storage systems as well as power stabilization solutions, and has amassed more than 6 GWh of deployed storage capacity globally. That installed base transfers to Nextpower's portfolio as part of the transaction, giving the solar-focused company an immediate operational footprint in the storage sector rather than a greenfield position.

The acquisition effectively launches what Nextpower is characterizing as a distinct energy storage business line, complementing its existing solar PV solutions activity.

Revenue Expectations and Financial Rationale

Nextpower projects the deal will contribute between $200 million and $300 million in additional revenue during its fiscal year 2027, a figure that underscores the company's expectation that storage will become a material part of its business within a few years of the closing. No nearer-term revenue guidance tied to the acquisition was included in the available source material.

The $365 million transaction price reflects the scale of Prevalon's established market position, which includes domestic manufacturing capabilities oriented toward the utility-scale segment—a portion of the energy storage market that continues to draw significant investment as grid operators seek to pair storage with variable renewable generation.

Strategic Context

For Nextpower, the closing formalizes a strategic pivot that moves the company beyond solar development and integration into the broader clean energy infrastructure space. Prevalon's US-based manufacturing operations offer a degree of supply-chain positioning that has grown increasingly relevant given ongoing domestic content considerations affecting federally supported energy projects.

The combination of an established solar business with a storage integrator carrying several gigawatt-hours of deployed systems positions Nextpower to pursue customers and projects that require both generation and storage components, a procurement approach that has gained traction among large utilities and independent power producers.
