SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas, SOLV Energy (“SOLV”) announced the continuing expansion of its services for solar, energy storage and transmission and distribution (T&D) with the acquisitions of Spartan Infrastructure (“Spartan”) and SDI Services (“SDI”). SOLV acquired Spartan, a leading high-voltage transmission contractor, in June 2025. The acquisition of Spartan enhances SOLV’s ability to self-perform complex T&D work and meet growing demand for transmission infrastructure. Spartan recently formed a 35kV overhead crew to support SOLV’s solar capabilities—aligning with an industry-wide shift toward overhead AC collection systems for greater efficiency and scalability. Spartan’s longstanding utility partnerships also open new customer segments and revenue opportunities for SOLV. SOLV acquired SDI, a national foundational drilling and pile installation specialist for solar and T&D projects, in January 2025. Together, these acquisitions strengthen SOLV’s ability to execute complex projects in diverse environments, drive technical innovation and deliver integrated solutions that create long-term value for the company’s customers.

SOLV Energy has also expanded its national reach with the integration of CS Energy, a leading solar EPC in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Effective immediately, CS Energy will operate under the SOLV Energy brand—strengthening SOLV’s presence in key markets and combining regional expertise with national scale. SOLV is now active in all U.S. ISOs with more than 1 GW of installed and awarded EPC capacity in nearly every market.

The expanding scope of SOLV’s capabilities is underscored by the growing number of developers and independent power producers that are partnering with the company, including leading clean energy companies such as Clēnera, Clearway, Pine Gate Renewables, Arevon, Deriva Energy, DESRI, and Sol Systems. Recognized by both Engineering News Record and Solar Power World as one of the nation’s top solar and energy storage contractors, SOLV Energy continues to demonstrate superior scale, geographic reach and technical expertise.

“SOLV Energy’s performance this year reflects the strength of our partnerships and the trust our customers place in our ability to deliver at scale,” said George Hershman, CEO of SOLV Energy. “We’re proud to offer full lifecycle support—from development through long-term operations—while building lasting relationships with our partners and the communities we serve. RE+ is the best opportunity to come together as an industry, share ideas and solve the challenges that lie ahead. We’re excited to be part of that conversation.”

SOLV Energy CEO George Hershman will speak on the Main Stage at RE+ 2025 during the Executive Roundtable on the Future of Renewable Energy, taking place Tuesday, September 9 from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. He’ll join other industry leaders to talk about the challenges ahead and how companies like SOLV Energy are shaping the future of energy infrastructure.

The new specialized certification solution provides coffee farmers and companies with a science-based standard to track their regenerative impact on soil health and biodiversity. 

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Rainforest Alliance announces its new Regenerative Agriculture Standard, a specialized certification solution designed to help farmers and companies build more resilient livelihoods and restore ecosystems across tropical landscapes. Beginning early next year, certified regenerative products will bear a distinct seal, signifying to consumers they come from farms and companies that are committed to enriching the land and the lives of those who live off it. While initially available only for coffee, the organization will continue expanding its certification to other crops including cocoa, citrus, and tea, throughout 2026.

The announcement comes at a critical time for global agriculture, as extreme weather and ongoing environmental degradation continue to disrupt crop yields, supply reliability, and commodity markets. These challenges, combined with growing socioeconomic pressures, are threatening the livelihoods of millions of coffee farmers, particularly smallholders who produce over 70% of the world’s coffee¹.

“Markets need to move beyond a ‘do no harm’ mindset to one that repairs and restores. Now is the time to transition to a new model of agriculture—one where every cup of coffee gives back more than it takes from the land and the people who care for it. After years of research and collaboration with farmers and companies, we are proud to introduce a Regenerative Agriculture Certification to help drive this shift,” said Santiago Gowland, CEO of the Rainforest Alliance.

Regenerative agriculture, a climate-smart approach to farming, is emerging as a promising solution to help restore nature’s essential functions while improving livelihoods. Recent studies show regenerative farming practices can improve income by up to 20% to 30%².

The Rainforest Alliance has integrated these principles into its Regenerative Agriculture Standard, providing farmers with a science-based certification pathway for measuring progress and outcomes across five impact areas: soil health and fertility, climate resilience, biodiversity, water stewardship, and livelihoods. By implementing these practices effectively, coffee producers can build more productive and resilient farms while unlocking new market opportunities through certification. Independent auditors periodically visit farms and companies to check that they are meeting the requirements of the standard. When they do, they are awarded certification—and only then may they display the Rainforest Alliance regenerative seal on their products.

For companies, sourcing Rainforest Alliance Certified Regenerative coffee represents a strategic investment in producers who are better positioned to withstand climate shocks and contribute to more resilient, high-performing supply chains. It also enables brands to make stronger claims based on credible data, strengthen their ESG performance, and meet growing consumer expectations with a trusted Regenerative Agriculture seal that means real impact. In turn, coffee drinkers can make more informed buying decisions and feel confident that their choices will support both farmers and the planet.

The Regenerative Agriculture Standard is already being implemented across coffee farms in Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Meanwhile, companies sourcing from these farms are gearing up to deliver their first Rainforest Alliance Certified Regenerative coffee products to store shelves in 2026.

The Rainforest Alliance invites farmers and companies to start their regenerative journey. Explore the requirements for Regenerative Agriculture Certification and start preparing for implementation today.

About the Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance, an international non-profit organization, works to restore the balance between people and nature for both to thrive in harmony. Active in 62 countries, its alliance brings together farm and forest communities, companies, governments, civil society, and millions of individuals to drive positive change in some of the world’s critically important landscapes and global supply chains. The Rainforest Alliance implements landscape and community projects, engages in advocacy, and works to improve markets by putting farm and forest communities at the centre. In 2024, the Rainforest Alliance partnered with nearly 8 million farmers and workers and over 7,850 companies. Millions of consumers around the world can find the Rainforest Alliance seal on more than 40,000 of their favorite products. To accelerate the speed and scale of its impact the alliance wants to reach 100 million farmers and workers by 2030.
