The Texas-based solar energy company disclosed it has signed a binding agreement to purchase KORE Power for roughly $32 million through a combination of equity, cash, and debt assumption. An additional performance-based earn-out of up to $9.6 million in equity is contingent on meeting 2026 and 2027 targets.
The transaction is slated to finalize during the second quarter of 2026, subject to approval from KORE Power’s shareholders. A substantial portion of KORE’s shareholder base has already indicated support for the transaction.
The primary strategic asset in this acquisition is KORE’s NRI division — a specialized unit focused on designing, installing, and managing utility-scale battery energy storage infrastructure. NRI boasts a portfolio of approximately 1,100 deployed BESS projects internationally and maintains long-standing relationships with the U.S. Government, National Laboratories, and utility companies spanning more than five decades.
<a href="https://coincentral.com/t1-energy-te-stock-major-investor-dumps-190m-near-52-week-high/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">T1</a> intends to rename KORE Power as T1 NRI following completion of the deal.
<h3 id="financial-impact-on-ebitda-performance">Financial Impact on EBITDA Performance</h3>
According to T1’s projections, the acquisition will be EBITDA accretive beginning in 2026 and is anticipated to generate between $15 million and $20 million in EBITDA throughout 2027.
This projection carries significant weight given T1’s current trailing twelve-month EBITDA stands at negative $72.9 million, despite generating $879 million in revenue. The company did exceed expectations in its most recent quarter, reporting Q4 EBITDA of roughly $9 million compared to analyst projections of negative $11 million.
CEO Dan Barcelo described NRI’s established customer base and operational history as “complementary” to T1’s strategy of building a domestic solar and battery supply chain.
<blockquote>
 KORE CEO Jay Bellows stated the merger would provide clients with “a one-stop solution for generation, storage, system design, and ongoing operations.”
</blockquote>
Market conditions favor this strategic expansion. According to Rystad Energy forecasts, U.S. utility-scale BESS capacity is expected to expand from the current 45 GWh to 143 GWh by 2035.

In a separate development, Northland initiated analyst coverage of TE stock with an Outperform rating and assigned a $16 price target — representing roughly 33% upside from Tuesday’s closing price.
The investment firm emphasized T1’s domestic production capabilities, including adherence to Foreign Entity of Concern regulations and intentions to procure polysilicon wafers from Hemlock’s Michigan manufacturing plant.
T1 is constructing its inaugural <a href="https://coincentral.com/spacex-plans-10-gigawatt-solar-factory-near-austin-to-power-ai-data-centers/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">solar</a> cell manufacturing facility in Texas, with production scheduled to commence by the end of this year and full-scale operations planned for 2027. Northland acknowledged that manufacturing yields will likely start low during the initial phase.
The company’s gross profit margin currently stands at 7.6%, while it continues to report a loss of $1.59 per share on a trailing twelve-month basis.
T1 has encountered some controversy. Short-selling firm Fuzzy Panda Research has claimed the company fails to comply with Foreign Entity of Concern regulations, suggesting that an intellectual property transaction with Evervolt was designed to conceal connections to Trina Solar. T1 has challenged these allegations.
Earlier in the year, T1 completed a $160 million convertible notes offering — increased from an initial $125 million — with net proceeds of approximately $151.6 million designated for its G2_Austin solar cell manufacturing facility.
BTIG maintains a Buy recommendation with an $8 price target, while Needham recently reduced its target from $10 to $8.
