Nextpower Advances Measurable Climate Leadership with SBTi-Validated Emissions Targets

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nextpower™ (NASDAQ: NXT), a leading provider of intelligent power generation technology and solutions for solar power plants, today announced the validation of its near-term carbon emissions reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a coalition of CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute, and the World Wide Fund for Nature.

Under its validated SBTi targets, the company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 58.8% by fiscal year 2035 from a FY25 baseline, and to reduce Scope 3 emissions intensity per megawatt of solar trackers deployed by 63.8% over the same period.

“Over the past several years, we have strengthened our global supply chains, expanded domestic manufacturing in key markets, and launched new product innovations such as the NX Horizon^® low carbon tracker,” said Dan Shugar, founder and CEO. “These actions are delivering carbon improvements while creating additional value for our customers. The SBTi validation is another important milestone for our company and reinforces our strategy and the progress we are making.”

In recent years, Nextpower has optimized regional supply chains and increased adoption of lower-carbon electric arc furnace (EAF) steel. The NX Horizon low carbon tracker solution now reduces embodied carbon emissions by up to 42% compared to traditional trackers, supported by third-party verified lifecycle assessments.

The SBTi validation follows Nextpower’s formal establishment of its ESG program in 2024 and its recent upgrade to “Prime” status in the ISS Corporate ESG rating in Q3 FY26. Together, these independent evaluations strengthen the company’s competitive position in global markets where ESG performance is an increasingly important consideration for investors and customers.
