What Refound is
A North American industry marketplace for utility-scale renewable energy equipment. Substation transformers, switchgear, breakers, BESS modules, racks, PCS, plus solar, wind, and balance-of-plant gear coming online through 2027. Launching mid-2026, focused on the categories where OEM lead times have broken and verified secondary-market inventory is hardest to find.
Spec-first search
Buyers filter by kV class, MVA rating, BIL, vector group, MWh, not by manufacturer brand.
3rd Party Verified
Every premium listing carries a third-party inspection report: DGA, Doble, megger results, dated photos, hours, provenance.
North American focus
Single voltage standard. Single regulatory regime. Simpler logistics. Canada and Mexico phased in post-launch.
Refound is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saga Energy. Saga is the first anchor buyer, committed to sourcing at least 30% of net-new procurement through Refound for the first 12 months.
The circular grid
Reuse is part of the plan now.
For developers, utilities, and IPPs planning the next century of grid build-out, recycling, reusing, and repurposing aren't optional anymore. They're how the math works. Lead times stay broken. Critical mineral supply stays tight. Embedded carbon counts on every project's interconnection paperwork.
Refound exists because the cleanest, fastest, and increasingly cheapest megawatt is the one you don't have to build twice. Every transformer that re-energizes a second life, every BESS rack that ships from canceled-project surplus instead of a new factory, every breaker pulled from a fleet rotation and verified back into service is avoided manufacturing, avoided shipping, avoided landfill, and a project online sooner.
We don't lead with the green pitch. We lead with the in-stock-now and the verified-condition pitch, because that's what gets a procurement engineer to bid. The carbon math and the circular-economy story are the side effects. They're real, they matter, and they're how this industry plans for the long term, but the wedge that gets you here is the unit you can deploy in 30 days instead of 130 weeks.
Refound is built and operated by Saga Energy, a developer that puts its own procurement through this platform. The reuse-first mandate isn't aspirational for us. It's the only way our own project economics work.
