SB Energy

SB Energy is a utility-scale renewable energy and technology platform headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company develops, constructs, owns, and operates solar and energy storage projects across the United States, with a focus on projects that are large in scale and technically advanced. Its work spans the full project lifecycle, from development and financing through construction and long-term operations.

According to the company, SoftBank Group Chairman Masayoshi Son started SB Energy to deploy renewable energy at the scale required to combat climate change and to reduce reliance on nuclear power and fossil fuels. SB Energy describes itself today as a leading utility-scale solar, energy storage, and technology platform, with an experienced team and deep partnerships across development, financing, construction, and operations that support strong execution and rapid scaling.

In 2020, SB Energy began construction on five new solar projects totaling 1.7 GW across California and Texas. The company states that these projects created more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs and will power more than 330,000 homes once all five are complete. These figures illustrate the company’s emphasis on large-scale deployment and its role in expanding renewable generation capacity in key U.S. markets.

Beyond project development and ownership, SB Energy deploys and invests in new technologies intended to make renewable energy more reliable and accessible. The company has been an investor in iron-based battery company ESS Inc., reflecting an interest in storage technologies that can support the integration and dependability of renewable power.
