DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Bakken Shale in the United States of America (USA), 2021 - Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The Bakken shale play is the second largest oil producing region in the United States behind the Permian Basin. In 2019, it averaged over 1.4 million barrels of oil per day (mmbd), which was followed by Eagle Ford play at 1.37 mmbd.

The play is located in North and South Dakotas and Montana states in the United States and southern part of Saskatchewan province in Canada. However, more than 90% of the hydrocarbon output comes from the portion of play located in the United States and accounted for almost 11% of oil and 3% of natural gas production in the United States Lower 48 for 2020.

The play peaked in production in November 2019, with 1,525 thousand barrels of oil per day (mbd) and 3.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas. Crude oil production in Bakken peaked in November 2019, and since then was declining at 6% rate on an annual basis. However, muted energy demand and crashed oil price brought by Covid-19 pandemic, caused crude oil production in the play to drop by around 40% compared to the beginning of the year.

The lowest levels of production since the end of 2019 was in May 2020 with 890 mbd and 1.9 bcfd, which is a 41% drop in oil and 39% drop in natural gas production. Production in the play is expected to slowly grow as oil prices recover, however, it is not expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in the next five years.

New end-to-end charging solution to allow fleet managers to reduce carbon footprint while meeting complex reporting and cost management needs

PORTLAND, Maine & CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WEX (NYSE: WEX), a leading financial technology service provider, and ChargePoint, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network operating in North America and Europe, have announced plans to expand their existing relationship to provide seamless integration of EV charging for mixed fleets that include internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE). This expanded global partnership is expected to not only provide customers ready access to the largest public EV charging network for on-route charging needs, but also enable ‘depot’ and ‘at-home’ charging along with the means to facilitate employee reimbursement.


“By expanding WEX’s relationship with ChargePoint, we expect to position both companies to serve our customers’ full range of needs over the long-term, as more businesses evolve their fleets in efforts to address climate change,” said Scott Phillips, president of global fleet at WEX. “As a leader in the commercial fleet industry for nearly four decades, our customers across the globe rely on us to provide financial controls, powerful reporting, data solutions, and secure payments that keep their drivers on the road and on the job, while managing costs. WEX believes that partnering with ChargePoint will enable WEX to fully support any mix of EV and ICE vehicles that our customers operate.”

WEX and ChargePoint intend to offer a robust end-to-end solution to help mixed fleets incorporate on-route, depot and at-home charging solutions including streamlined program enrollment, centralized reporting and billing, real-time data on energy use to support driver reimbursement for commercial electric charging and installation services. The companies expect to offer at-work and fleet depot charging solutions for customers looking to install on-site charging stations at workplace facilities and integrate them into their fleet operations as well as private site charging solutions.

“Our expanded partnership with WEX is a major step in helping fleets prepare for the future of electric mobility with convenient and cost-effective expense management and wide payment acceptance. Today, WEX and ChargePoint have an EV payment system in the market that enables WEX’s fleet customers to pay for electric charging sessions at thousands of locations on the ChargePoint network on demand,” said Rich Mohr, global vice president of fleet at ChargePoint. “The enhanced end-to-end e-mobility solutions from on-route, depot and at-home easily support drivers when they need a charge in North America and Europe.”

In addition, this growing relationship will allow drivers to locate and activate EV charging stations and authorize payments while providing fleet managers with consolidated billing and reporting and greater visibility into internal combustion engine and electric vehicle usage. Integrating this data is critical for mixed fleet customers as they continue to look for opportunities to further reduce their carbon footprints and to simplify their complex reporting needs.

“As partners, WEX and ChargePoint plan to offer fleet managers the opportunity to integrate as many electric vehicles into their fleets as they desire, without any loss of visibility, financial controls or fueling flexibility,” continued Mr. Phillips. “By doing so, we will help our customers evolve their fleets as new forms of transportation are available and operating cost, environmental impact and other considerations affect their business imperatives.”

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AsiaPacific--UPC Hydrogen Pte Ltd ("UPC Hydrogen") is pleased to announce that it has acquired the exclusive license to produce hydrogen from technology developed by Proton Technologies Inc. (“Proton”) for a selection of countries in the Asia Pacific region. UPC Hydrogen is an affiliate of Renewables Asia Pacific Holdings Pte Ltd ("UPC Renewables"), a private company with 8 GW of wind, solar and storage in development, under construction or in operation across the Asia Pacific region.



The licenced countries include Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mongolia and Myanmar. UPC Hydrogen believes that the Proton technology can produce hydrogen in these countries at a price of less than US$1.00/KG from new, plugged, abandoned or uneconomic oil wells (especially heavy oil wells) whilst keeping any carbon from being emitted from the wells. The technology could provide low cost carbon free power in areas that are less rich in natural renewable sources than most countries and that have severe shortage of suitable land due to competing uses.

Steven Zwaan, Director of UPC Hydrogen said “When we first visited Proton’s production site in Canada in early 2020, our pre-covid view was excitement about both the potential to load balance renewable-weighted grids with baseload hydrogen, but also the longer-term prospect of an electricity cost potentially lower than wind and solar. Now the world is very attuned to the benefits of saving money while deeply decarbonizing using hydrogen without emitting carbon to surface. There is no need for fresh water for this process and the ecological disturbance is limited to existing infrastructure.”

Grant Strem, Chairman & CEO of Proton added "UPC Hydrogen has been an early and critical supporter in the advancement of this transformative technology. We are delighted to work with UPC Hydrogen and assist as they and we both proliferate this important extremely clean technology."

  • Increases Vertical’s eVTOL pre-order book to a total of up to 1350 aircraft
  • Accelerates entry opportunities to Japanese market
  • Expands Vertical’s global partnership network

BRISTOL, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertical Aerospace (“Vertical”), a leading British eVTOL manufacturer which is pioneering the transition to carbon free aviation, today announced that Vertical and Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”), a leading Japanese integrated trading and investment business conglomerate have reached an agreement to explore sustainable, emissions free Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) travel solutions, focused on the application of Vertical’s flagship electric aircraft, the VA-X4, in the Japanese market. Marubeni has also agreed a conditional pre-order option of up to 200 of Vertical’s aircraft.



This important partnership builds on existing commercial partnerships between Vertical and American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Avolon, Iberojet and Bristow who with Marubeni have already collectively agreed conditional pre-orders for 1350 aircraft in total with a value of approximately $5.4bn.

Vertical and Marubeni will now begin jointly evaluating the requirements for eVTOL aircraft operations in Japan as well as other commercial considerations such as route and network planning, infrastructure requirements and capacity, plus engaging other interested parties who can play a role in launching AAM in Japan.

By working with such an established and respected Japanese organisation, Vertical expects to accelerate its ability to enter the Japanese market and offer Japanese consumers a safer, faster, cheaper and greener alternative to current short haul options in the country.

With its technological and regulatory advantages, such as its capacity to operate high frequency eVTOL traffic in a safe environment, Japan has great potential when it comes to the commercialization of the AAM market. Marubeni believes that eVTOLs have a number of use cases in Japan, such as inter-city, intra-city, airport shuttle and life support operations, that will benefit both customers and communities. Marubeni is expecting eVTOL operations to commence in 2025 and will utilize its existing aviation capabilities to maximize the quality of personal transportation.

Vertical is now working with partners in key locations around the world to establish AAM operations in markets where there is expected high demand for eVTOL operations. In the USA, American Airlines plans to work with Vertical on passenger operations and infrastructure development. In the United Kingdom, Virgin Atlantic and Vertical plan to work together to explore the joint venture launch of a Virgin Atlantic branded short haul eVTOL network, including operations and infrastructure development.

The VA-X4, Vertical’s flagship aircraft, is expected to be certified to the same standards as commercial airliners and is expected to be significantly safer and quieter than a helicopter. By combining its world-class team with a deliberately built ecosystem of top-tier partners, such as Microsoft, American Airlines, Avolon, Honeywell, Rolls-Royce, and more, Vertical has assembled a broad mix of people and world class organisations with both commercial track records as well as experience testing, building and certifying some of the world’s most advanced aircraft.

Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Vertical said:

Marubeni is one of the most respected companies in Japan, and we are proud to be partnering with them as we look at ways to bring our VA-X4 to the Japanese market. Marubeni’s pre-order option for up to 200 aircraft provides us with a potential direct route to market and builds on our purchase agreements with American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Avolon, Iberojet and Bristow. This is the most exciting time in aviation for almost a century; electrification will transform flying in the 21st century in the same way the jet engine did 70 years ago and with Marubeni we are confident we have a great partner who can be a part of this transformation.”

Toru Okazaki, Senior Operating Officer, Aerospace & Ship Div at Marubeni said:

We’re so excited to announce this great partnership with Vertical Aerospace, who is now leading the Advanced Aerial Mobility market. Through this strong partnership with Vertical, we are confident that we will successfully develop the AAM market in Japan. By seeking to popularise eVTOL technology, we will not only be enriching people’s lives but making meaningful inroads into the reduction of greenhouse gases and our path to net-zero.”

While Flux Power customer deliveries of battery packs have been delayed in some cases, no customer orders have been lost, only deferred. To that point, total backlog, or open sales orders, total $18M as of this date. Mitigation actions have been implemented to address the impact to supply chain disruption, while anticipating continued impact but with a gradual recovery.

The first quarter (Q1’22) of the fiscal year is a seasonally slower revenue quarter, reflecting customers not purchasing or installing new equipment over the historically slower summer months of July and August. However, Flux Power anticipates significant year over year growth for the quarter, but a lower growth quarter compared with the prior two quarters Flux Power also expects to further enhance gross margins across its product lines through implementation of pricing actions and a series of clearly defined initiatives to advance technology, design, production and purchasing efficiencies, as well as benefiting from growing economies of scale.

KENNESAW, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Florida Board of Education announced the post-secondary school Career and Professional Education (CAPE) funding list for the 2021/2022 academic year this August. That list now includes Yamaha Marine University’s Maintenance Certifications, a first among marine outboard manufacturers and a strong incentive for technical schools to offer Yamaha outboard training courses to students.



“Yamaha remains focused on developing qualified, workforce-ready marine technicians to help dealerships build profitable, efficient service departments. A key component of this effort is training and education,” said Gregg Snyder, Marine Training Department Manager, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “The inclusion of Yamaha Maintenance Certifications on the CAPE funding list further encourages post-secondary schools in the state of Florida to incorporate marine technician education into their curriculum. Aspiring technicians who complete and pass exams to earn four separate Yamaha Marine Maintenance Certifications will enter the marine industry workforce with the skills and confidence they need to build successful careers. Making this list is a win for students, Yamaha Technical School Partners and Yamaha dealers.”

Florida’s CAPE program fosters a statewide planning partnership between business and education communities to attract, expand and retain targeted, high-value industry for the state. The post-secondary education funding incentivizes schools to offer curriculum that can result in industry-recognized certifications students can earn to secure high-wage, high-demand careers. Once registered students earn a recognized certification, the school receives a performance award from the state to put toward the further development of workforce-ready courses.

The recognition of Yamaha Maintenance Certifications on the CAPE funding list is particularly beneficial for Yamaha Technical School Partners (TSPs) in Florida. Current and aspiring marine technicians can earn four distinct Yamaha Maintenance Certifications: Portable, Midrange, Inline (4 cylinder) and V-engine. TSPs can choose which modules to offer based on the needs of the market in their area. Many Yamaha Technical School Partners use the Maintenance Certification Program in their curriculum to build student proficiency in conducting 20-, 100-, 300-, 500- and 1,000-hour service procedures. Yamaha recommends technicians complete Introduction to Outboard Systems (ITOS) before they complete Yamaha Marine Maintenance Certification exams. Yamaha TSPs throughout Florida currently offer the ITOS curriculum.

“Yamaha continues to implement in-demand, career-enhancing certifications and curriculum for the marine industry to help aspiring technicians prepare for and realize success,” said Jack Seubert, Dean of Marine Science and Technology, The College of the Florida Keys (CFK). “Savvy dealers are more likely to actively recruit marine technicians with recognized certifications, such as the four Yamaha Maintenance Certifications that CFK currently offers.

“In an indirect way, the inclusion of Yamaha certifications on the CAPE list is also a great way for our institution to recruit,” he continued. “When prospective students see we offer the marine courses that include training to prepare students to earn these certifications, and that the technicians who earn them are in high demand for top-paying jobs, they are more likely to enroll. Couple that with the state funding the school can earn from each recorded certification and you’ve got a win-win situation.”

The Yamaha service and government relations teams worked together in the effort to gain CAPE funding list placement. To meet the Florida Board of Education qualifications, Yamaha worked with TSPs in Florida to recognize Marine Engine Repair as a formal state occupation.

“The path to CAPE funding presented an excellent learning experience for Yamaha,” said Martin Peters, Division Manager, Government Relations, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “The approval of Yamaha Maintenance Certification on this list represents the hard work of two departments working toward the same goal of increasing qualified technicians in the workforce. It’s an achievement we hope to duplicate with similar programs in other states.”

JENBACH, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, INNIO today announced the publication of its inaugural Sustainability Report, “Together for a Sustainable Future.” The theme of this report encompasses engagement of everyone -- with “together” being the key word indicating responsibility of all stakeholders in a journey to shape a sustainable future. The report highlights INNIO’s commitment to instituting a culture of transparency, providing progress updates and direction on INNIO’s global approach to sustainability covering its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance for 2020.



In continuing its sustainability journey, INNIO’s leadership and its Sustainability Review Board (SRB) laid out the company’s ESG goals and strategy which included the development and publication of its first Sustainability Report. The report details how INNIO is working responsibly to deliver communities, industry, and the public with access to sustainable, reliable, and economical power while creating and maintaining an innovative, diverse, inclusive, pleasant and safe working environment for its employees.

Further, as INNIO’s Jenbacher and Waukesha products, services and digital solutions help unlock the transition to a carbon neutral future, INNIO’s Sustainability Report provides its stakeholders with indicators on commitment and progress to reducing greenhouse emissions and initiatives around responsible resource management.

In his opening note to the Sustainability Report, INNIO president and CEO, Carlos Lange, laid out key priorities and accomplishments:

Sustainability Goals

“As we continue to implement our enterprise strategy for profitable growth, we are also underlining our commitment to climate challenges and sustainable growth. INNIO’s Sustainability Goals are related to safety, energy and emissions, water, waste, building efficiency, circular economy, jobsite efficiency and sustainability of our products, services and solutions.”

Uninterrupted Access to Products and Services

“Along with our distributors and suppliers, INNIO is working to help ensure uninterrupted access to the products and services that our global customers rely on to support society during these difficult times. The recent COVID-19 global pandemic presented new challenges around the world, and INNIO was designated by many governments as an ‘essential’ enterprise since our products, parts and services support key infrastructure in the supply of natural gas and electrical energy. Customers use our products to provide primary and standby power & heat to homes; essential facilities such as hospitals, utilities, or district heating plants; and other businesses that must continue to operate.”

Technology Leadership: Hydrogen

“In Hamburg, INNIO Jenbacher and HanseWerk Natur recently collaborated to commission the world’s first large-scale gas engine in the 1 MW range capable of running on a variety of hydrogen-natural gas mixtures or on 100% green hydrogen. It’s also the world’s first natural gas engine conversion to hydrogen in the field. Again, INNIO technology is ahead of the game, demonstrating the future-proof nature of the installed base, this time by offering the ability to convert to carbon free, 100% hydrogen capabilities.”

Digitalization

“Through digitalization, we can constantly improve our products’ design and construction in our advanced factories, flawlessly execute our services, and move beyond reactive to predictive data solutions. At our manufacturing plants, we have embraced digitalization and are continuously refining our operations, accelerating innovation and improving our customers’ experience.”

The Sustainability Report publication follows recent sustainability activities that include INNIO’s recognition by EcoVadis with a Silver business sustainability rating, and INNIO’s joining the United Nations Global Compact. Each of these efforts underscores INNIO’s holistic and structured approach to incorporating sustainability across the company, considering the environment, employee development, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, as well as corporate responsibility.

INNIO’s Sustainability Report was developed in collaboration with external ESG advisors and subject matter experts as well as internal directors from diverse backgrounds.

We agree with the goals of the Paris Agreement—to stop global warming and lower temperatures to pre-industrial era levels by 2050. That’s why we took important steps in 2020 to address INNIO’s sustainability strategy, diving into the material issues we identified as the touchpoints to our customers and stakeholders. Our society faces unprecedented economic, environmental, social, and cultural challenges, and we are convinced that sustainability is the key to transforming these challenges into opportunities. Our sustainability strategy recognizes INNIO’s social and environmental responsibility. We must act now on this responsibility.

New capital will allow the company to further enhance its existing solar platform, continue growth into new market segments and facilitate international expansion.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omnidian, the only nationwide provider of residential, commercial and industrial solar system performance plans and performance guarantees, announced today that it has secured a $33 million Series B capital raise. The round was led by Activate Capital. Additional round participants included Liberty Mutual Insurance and WIND Ventures, the strategic venture capital arm of Chilean multinational energy firm Copec, as well as existing investors City Light Capital, IA Capital, Evergy Ventures, Avista Development Inc., Congruent Ventures, Centrica, National Grid Partners, Energy Foundry and Blue Bear Capital.


“This successful raise is a validation of what Omnidian has accomplished over the past four years. Residential and commercial solar are moving into mainstream adoption and with that comes demand for a higher level of service and assurance that a customer’s system is operating as expected,” said Mark Liffmann, founder and CEO of Omnidian. “Our new capital partners share our vision of providing solar energy customers with a lower cost of ownership, less risk and a transformational customer experience. The capital will also enable expansion into new asset classes including energy storage, EV charging and HVAC.”

“Omnidian is a vital technology for the energy transition making the adoption of distributed energy resources like solar easier for homeowners and businesses,” said Raj Atluru, Managing Director, Activate Capital. "The renewables industry has spent the last two decades investing trillions of dollars into clean energy generation. Omnidian's intelligent asset management platform treats these IoT connected assets as critical infrastructure, ensuring the rapid adoption of renewable generation and the resiliency of our grid,” added Eric Meyer, Vice President. “The Omnidian team is world class and brings decades of insight into performance management that will accelerate the adoption of these critical technologies."

“The world is embarking on a major energy transition and Omnidian’s platform is an example of the type of technology that is needed to help consumers and businesses alike understand and maximize the performance of their clean energy systems,” said Liberty Mutual Investments Managing Director of Energy Transition & Infrastructure TJ Gaylord. “The Omnidian team continues to earn accolades for its remote monitoring, performance plans and overall level of customer satisfaction. We are excited to work alongside Omnidian as they move forward to their next phase of growth, which is aligned with our strategy of investing in alternative energy and supporting the energy transition.”

The new capital comes at a time of rapid growth for Omnidian. In addition to its performance plans for solar, the firm has launched a similar service for energy storage, both at the residential and C&I level. In the future, Omnidian’s machine learning software will monitor other IoT sensored energy products. The firm currently employs more than 100 professionals across 16 states and expects that number to grow significantly over the next several years. It will also grow the more than 1,700 megawatts it currently manages for customers. Finally, this raise will enable international expansion for the company.

The raise also comes at a time when the solar market’s growth trajectory is accelerating, increasing the need for a better experience at the customer level and the deployment of more capital at the institutional level.

“Customer peace of mind is delivered by our powerful machine learning platform ensuring that in-home or commercial energy infrastructure will deliver on its promise,” Liffmann added. “Asset performance is also key to enabling deployment of the billions of dollars in new infrastructure capital that has been earmarked for residential and especially commercial solar. I expect commercial solar’s growth to exceed most commercial solar market forecasts and Omnidian’s performance guarantees will be key to unlocking much of that capital.”

About Omnidian:

Omnidian’s mission is to protect and accelerate capital invested in clean energy through innovative technology, passionate teams and an amazing customer experience. Our state-of-the art proprietary technology provides continuous monitoring for residential and commercial solar energy systems and portfolios. As more IoT enabled clean energy technology is deployed in homes and businesses, Omnidian’s software platform will continue to provide the industry’s only end-to-end performance assurance, including proactive service alerts and field service for the life of residential and commercial solar energy systems, battery storage and more.

AECOM signs MOU focused on using green hydrogen to support post-earthquake recovery and growth in the country’s central Apennines region

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Spanish renewables group Iberdrola, and Italian partners Cinque International and Ancitel Energy and Environment, to upgrade Italy’s historic Apennine diesel railway with hydrogen trains. This project aims to aid economic growth for the Apennine region.

We are excited to bring our technical expertise in the development of smart cities and new energy to this project, working with our partners to progress this first-of-a-kind railway for Italy. As leaders in environmental, social and governance (ESG), our work to develop these new energy projects will support the European Union’s net-zero carbon targets,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “It will also drive innovation in our industry and attract people and business back to this isolated, inland area of Italy that has been impacted by seismic events in recent years. The aim of this ambitious project is to find ways to build back sustainably, using new energy technology to create job opportunities and boost economic growth for communities in the region.”

AECOM and its partners are working on four projects to support sustainable economic recovery in the region, which was badly affected by earthquakes in 2009 and 2016 and has suffered from decades of depopulation. The first project is the upgrade of the 300km Apennine line, which will be one of Italy’s first hydrogen railways. The line runs from the town of Sansepolcro in the northern province of Arezzo, to Sulmona, a city in the central province of L'Aquila. The focus on this line is strategically important because it connects a number of inland areas through four central regions. A portion of the line has not been electrified, currently using diesel trains that will be replaced as part of the program.

The MOU also includes pre-feasibility work for a new rail line powered by green hydrogen linking Rome with Ascoli Piceno, a province in the Marche region. The third project is to assess the potential for diffused green hydrogen manufacturing activity in the region. The final project will look at ways to apply new energy and environmental technologies in post-earthquake reconstruction.

The projects align with the aims of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, a European Commission-led group looking at an ambitious deployment of hydrogen technologies by 2030 to support the EU’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. In July 2021, the Apennine Railway project was pre-selected by the European Commission in its framework of activities for the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, which aims to build a pipeline of viable investment projects and scale up the deployment of green hydrogen in Europe.

Under the MOU, AECOM is leading engineering and program management, with Iberdrola acting as industrial partner.

About AECOM

AECOM (NYSE: ACM) is the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, delivering professional services throughout the project lifecycle – from planning, design and engineering to program and construction management. On projects spanning transportation, buildings, water, new energy and the environment, our public- and private-sector clients trust us to solve their most complex challenges. Our teams are driven by a common purpose to deliver a better world through our unrivaled technical expertise and innovation, a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion, and a commitment to environmental, social and governance priorities.

448MWdc Project marks iSun’s second foray into the fast-growing utility-scale EPC market.

BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$isun #cleanenergy--iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN) (the “Company”, or “iSun”), a leading solar energy and clean mobility infrastructure company with 50 years of construction experience in solar, electrical and data services, announced today that Fusion Renewable has selected the company for turnkey professional, development, and EPC services.


Highlights

  • Projects encompass interconnect applications across 3 locations in Alabama, equaling 448MWdc of solar production - enough to power over 85,000 homes.
  • Project financing to be provided by Fusion Renewable.
  • Total engineering, procurement, and construction (‘EPC’) and renewable energy credits (‘REC’) contracts could exceed $500 million.
  • Project includes a $7 million development and professional services contract, commencing immediately.
  • Notice to proceed (‘NTP’) on the first EPC project expected in 2022.

In April, iSun acquired the intellectual property of Oakwood Construction Services, enabling entry into the rapidly growing solar development services market. This is the second award executed by iSun’s Utility division, bringing total contract awards to $8.25 million in 6 months.

“This initiative is in line with iSun’s commitment to help accelerate the adoption of clean energy at every scale, from providing EV Charging, installing residential systems to large utility-scale solar systems,” commented Jeffrey Peck, iSun’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our acquisition of Oakwood construction in April of this year, and the launch of iSun Utility marked our initial entry into both the Utility scale sector and the professional and development services marketplace. In the short time since, we’ve won contracts for over $8.25 million

in development and professional services fees and have been granted EPC rights for nearly 566MWdc of projects, with potential future revenues of more than $500 million. These results underscore the efficacy of our strategy as well as the quality of the iSun Utility team that we have in place to execute on our strategy. We anticipate construction to begin starting in 2022.”

The projects were structured by Fusion Renewable, including siting, 2,600 acres of land control and diligence, and will be financed and owned by a joint venture between Israeli public companies.

Niv Sarne, Fusion Renewable’s CEO noted, “We are excited to launch our projects portfolio with iSun. This is a significant opportunity and the collaboration between the two companies has created value and led to further opportunities in the renewable sector. We are looking forward to continue working with iSun and strengthening the relationship between the two companies.”

The Altmayer Limited Partnership (“ALP”) is acting as an active development partner in the project. Daniel L. Rabinowitz, a Director of Altmayer Management, Inc., commented: “ALP is very pleased and proud to be a part of this significant renewable energy venture in South Alabama. We believe that it will provide important benefits for South Alabama and for the communities of western Mobile County. We are a longtime Mobile-based enterprise, and we are committed to entering into constructive partnerships with Mobile educational and job training institutions to provide pathways to the permanent solar energy jobs that will be created by the new facilities and look forward to the economic development that will ensue as the project moves into construction and comes online.”

About iSun Inc.

Since 1972, iSun has accelerated the adoption of proven, life-improving innovations in electrification technology. iSun has been the trusted electrical contractor to Fortune 500 companies for decades and has installed clean rooms, fiber optic cables, flight simulators, and over 400 megawatts of solar systems.
