Green Rain Energy Holdings Inc. (OTC: GREH) (“Green Rain” or the “Company”), a clean-energy company dedicated to reshaping the future of sustainable power, today confirmed that it is in advanced negotiations for a landmark renewable energy project in Southern California.
The project envisions the development of a next-generation solar energy installation, strategically positioned on a 4.2-acre semi-rural property in San Diego County. The site is owned by a well-known African American author, whose commitment to sustainability and community wellness complements Green Rain’s mission to deliver transformative energy solutions that generate both economic returns and social impact.
A Unique Intersection of Energy, Community, and Vision
The initiative will combine renewable power production with community-focused amenities, representing a first-of-its-kind project in the region. The property is being designed as an eco-retreat and wellness hub, complete with resort-style accommodations, organic farming, recreational amenities, and teaching kitchens – all powered and supported by renewable energy.
Preliminary negotiations include:
Positioning for Growth in a Multi-Billion Dollar Market
California is targeting 100% renewable energy by 2050, and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) remains one of the fastest-growing markets for distributed renewable power. With demand for solar and storage solutions at record highs, Green Rain believes this negotiation marks the beginning of a transformational growth phase for the Company.
“This project positions Green Rain at the forefront of the clean-energy transition in one of the nation’s most competitive renewable energy markets,” said Alfredo Papadakis, CEO of Green Rain Energy Holdings Inc. “We are not only pursuing profitability – we are demonstrating how renewable energy can uplift communities, support California’s clean-energy mandate, and establish a blueprint for future developments nationwide.”
Strategic Synergy with Community Development
The property itself is undergoing parallel developments, including a resort-style main house, additional dwelling units for medical professionals, off-grid tiny homes for short-term rental, and organic farming initiatives aimed at community empowerment and food sustainability.
By integrating a large-scale solar component, the project will become a showcase for how renewable energy can power modern living, economic opportunity, and environmental responsibility all on a single site.
Next Steps
The Company stressed that while negotiations are progressing, no definitive agreements have been executed at this time. However, management views the discussions as a catalyst that could drive substantial near-term growth opportunities, both for Green Rain Energy Holdings Inc. and its shareholders.

The solar industry's performance gap has long cost developers time, money, and credibility. GroundWork Renewables launches the STACK Framework, a five-layer methodology designed to remove uncertainty from the entire solar project lifecycle, from resource assessment to performance analytics.
The STACK Framework is the foundation of full-stack solar intelligence, a new category GroundWork is defining to close the industry's long-standing "certainty gap." By aligning measurement, validation, and analysis across every stage, STACK helps developers, EPCs, and asset owners reduce risk, pass capacity tests, and protect long-term asset value.
"Solar can't run on guesswork," said Ann Will, CEO of GroundWork Renewables. "With STACK, we turn solar performance into a science. Every decision is backed by proven data, so our clients can defend results, secure financing, and operate with certainty."
The five layers of the STACK Framework:
By replacing disconnected tools and reactive troubleshooting with a proactive, lifecycle-spanning standard, the STACK Framework sets a new bar for operational excellence. It builds on GroundWork's 15+ years of expertise in MET data, PV module testing, and solar performance analytics — all backed by its ISO-certified processes.
The STACK Framework will make its public debut at RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas, September 8–11. Attendees can explore the methodology firsthand and see how certainty compounds across projects and portfolios. Visit GroundWork Renewables at RE+ Booth V7951 or learn more at grndwork.com.

Storion Energy LLC, a manufacturer of high-quality vanadium electrolyte and stack power assemblies, will demonstrate the benefits of their components for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) during the RE+ 2025 conference, Sept. 8-11 at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. Storion Energy representatives will be available in Stryten Energy’s Booth #F18033 throughout the show.
Storion Energy, a joint venture between an affiliate of Stryten Energy LLC and Largo Clean Energy Corp., is removing the barriers to entry for battery manufacturers by enabling them to domestically source price-competitive components for flow batteries, including vanadium electrolyte. Storion combines access to high-quality vanadium supply from the largest producing vanadium mine in the Western Hemisphere with domestic electrolyte production to establish a fully integrated vertical supply chain for utility-scale VRFBs used in long-duration energy storage (LDES) applications.
“Rising energy demand, aging grid infrastructure, and fragile global supply chains are creating serious challenges for industries that depend on reliable power,” said Travis Torrey, CTO of Storion Energy. “Storion’s innovative vanadium electrolyte leasing model removes a major cost barrier, accelerating the adoption of vanadium flow battery technology for utility-scale storage. This is a critical step toward building greater energy resilience for businesses and communities across the country.”
Torrey will be a panelist in the “Making Solar More Bankable” discussion at the Stryten Energy booth on September 10 at 11 a.m. This panel discussion will examine how energy storage transforms solar into a grid-ready, financially viable solution. Along with Torrey, Olivia Amyette of Infinite Energy Advisors, Dr. Vick Singh of Dragonfly Energy, and Scott Childers of Stryten Energy will discuss how battery storage enhances solar reliability, reduces the levelized cost of energy, and supports sustainability goals. The conversation will also explore regulatory shifts, integration challenges, and the future of solar-plus-storage amid rising demand from AI, EVs, and electrification.
Visit Booth #F18033 to participate in Storion Energy’s panel discussion and learn how VRFB supports utility-scale LDES to ensure energy resilience and security.
