Origis Energy is a solar and energy storage developer operating in the US. The company specializes in developing, financing, engineering, procuring, constructing, and managing solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. Origis Energy utilizes thin-film solar panels manufactured by First Solar for its photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities. In December 2022, the company contracted with Mitsubishi Power Americas to deliver three utility-scale BESS projects totaling 150 megawatts/600 megawatt-hours.

Boost provides home co-investments to help young adults with the deposit they need to buy their first home.  Most first time buyers get a mortgage for 80% of the purchase price, meaning they need a 20% deposit. We double the amount they already have, so if they've saved up 10% we give them another 10%.  After they buy, they pay their mortgage each month, but they don't pay us a thing until they sell their home. When they sell, the amount they pay to us depends on whether the value of their home has risen or fallen since they purchased it. Boost recently received investment from Santander and is currently participating in the 'Launch Lab' accelerator programme in London.
