Customer satisfaction rooted in utility’s strong commitment to service

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the eighth consecutive year, the residential customers of TECO Peoples Gas have rated the utility highest in customer satisfaction among midsize natural gas companies in the south region segment of the J.D. Power 2020 Gas Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study. This year, Peoples Gas received the highest score in the history of the Gas Utility Residential Study and was the first to achieve the highest ranking in their segment eight years in a row.

The study analyzed customer satisfaction in six categories: billing and payment, price, corporate citizenship, communications, customer service and safety and reliability. Peoples Gas swept all six study factors, ranking #1 in the segment.

Throughout this health crisis, our team has shown true commitment to safely delivering essential energy and services for our neighbors and businesses,” said T.J. Szelistowski, president of Peoples Gas. “We have volunteered, personally donated to food banks and other critical community services, and worked hard to support our customers – especially those in need. This recognition is a testament to our dedication and spirit, and it makes me so proud to know our customers appreciate what we do.”

Soon after the pandemic began, Peoples Gas voluntarily suspended all disconnections related to non-payment for several months and, with its affiliate Tampa Electric, contributed more than $1 million to support Floridians who have lost their jobs or substantial income as a result of COVID-19. “At every level, our team kept going strong because we believe that now, more than ever, Floridians need us,” said Szelistowski. “It is remarkable and motivating that our customers would take the time to participate in the study during the pandemic and share such positive sentiments about us.”

The company continues to make investments and advances in its infrastructure and technologies to ensure a safe and resilient natural gas system and to meet evolving customer expectations and growth.

J.D. Power’s 2020 Gas Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study is based on more than 60,000 responses from residential customers of 83 of the largest gas utilities across the continental United States and was conducted between September 2019 and July 2020. Peoples Gas ranked highest in customer satisfaction in residential natural gas service among midsize gas utilities in the south region, which includes eight states.

Peoples Gas System, Florida’s largest natural gas distribution utility, serves more than 400,000 customers across the state. Peoples Gas is a subsidiary of Emera Inc., a geographically diverse energy and services company headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Two new megawatt installations of Bloom Energy Servers to build new utility-scale, clean energy facilities in the country’s northwestern Gyeonggi province

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) and SK Engineering and Construction (SK E&C) today announced they have powered on two new clean energy facilities with fuel cell technology in the Gyeonggi province of South Korea. Located respectively in the cities of Hwasung and Paju, these new installations use Bloom Energy’s non-combustion, electrochemical process to produce electricity with lower and predictable energy costs and enhanced reliability – all while reducing carbon emissions.


The first power plant, located in the historic city of Hwasung, boasts a 19.8-megawatt fuel cell deployment of Bloom Energy Servers – the largest Bloom Energy project in South Korea to date and the company’s second largest in the world. This deployment marks the first-ever solid oxide fuel cell project financed in Korea, with over 141 billion KRW of debt and equity financing. The solid oxide fuel cell installment provides a new source of electricity to meet growing energy demand. This facility alone is designed to generate enough electricity to power approximately 43,000 homes in the area.

Located in the city of Paju, the second plant consists of an 8.1 megawatt fuel cell deployment of Bloom Energy Servers designed to power nearly 18,000 homes in the area. Furthermore, the new plant not only generates clean and reliable energy for the city, it also supplies its residents in rural areas with natural gas via new city pipelines for the first time.

South Korea is a leader and global champion of fuel cell technology for utility-scale power generation. By latest estimates, its six power generation companies have deployed approximately 300 megawatts of fuel cell power to date.

This is just the beginning. South Korea has introduced several initiatives to increase power generation from renewable and new technologies. The government released a Hydrogen Economy Roadmap in 2019 calling for 15,000 megawatts of stationary fuel cells by 2040. And, South Korea’s Renewable Portfolio Standard incentivizes generation companies to increase renewable and new technology derived power to 10 percent by 2023. These energy initiatives don’t simply promote energy innovation, but also cleaner solutions and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Solid oxide fuel cell servers, unlike other fuel cell power generators, reuse the heat they produce and do not need a heat requirement to be efficient or cost-effective, making them an option for more power users. Bloom Energy Servers have one of the highest electrical efficiency of any commercially available electric power generation system in the world, resulting in low fuel consumption – a valuable feature in a country that imports all of its gas. Additionally, the terrain and population density of South Korea make small footprint and modularly designed Bloom Energy Servers a practical energy solution for the country.

“South Korea is clearly on the leading-edge of our world’s energy future,” said KR Sridhar, founder, chairman and CEO of Bloom Energy. “And, this utility-scale deployment of fuel cells is a powerful proof point of its ambitious energy plan. Bloom Energy is proud to support this visionary effort to make clean, reliable, resilient, and adaptable power generation.”

“We must all be thinking about how to provide the energy needed today while also contributing to the betterment of our air and environment,” explained Jason Ahn, President and CEO of SK E&C. “Embracing technology advancements, like those from Bloom Energy, addresses energy needs and benefits to the environment and society.”

South Korea was one of the first countries heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the country was successful in keeping business running, and the 19.8-megawatt installation was able to be constructed and completed during the pandemic.

In July 2020, Bloom announced plans to enter the commercial hydrogen market by introducing hydrogen-powered fuel cells and electrolyzers that produce renewable hydrogen. These products will be first introduced to the South Korean market in 2021 through an expanded partnership with SK E&C.

About Bloom Energy

Bloom Energy’s mission is to make clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone in the world. The company’s product, the Bloom Energy Server, delivers highly reliable and resilient, always-on electric power that is clean, cost-effective, and ideal for microgrid applications. Bloom’s customers include many Fortune 100 companies and leaders in manufacturing, data centers, healthcare, retail, higher education, utilities, and other industries.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) announced it has been contracted by New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to provide its Redeem™ renewable natural gas (RNG), a fuel derived from organic waste, to power the MTA’s 800 natural gas transit buses.



“The MTA is a prime example of a major transit agency recognizing the environmental benefits and financial value of RNG,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy. “We’re pleased to support their efforts by supplying low-carbon RNG, a cleaner fuel option that will help improve air quality and fight climate change in the region.”

The multi-year agreement for an estimated 25 million gallons of Clean Energy’s Redeem™ RNG is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions annually by 25,351 metric tons—the equivalent of removing 5,477 gasoline cars from the road, planting 419,184 trees, and recycling 8,623 tons of landfill waste—by switching to RNG from fossil CNG.

"We applaud the MTA for taking bold action to improve the environment by choosing to fuel their transit busses with RNG,” Johannes Escudero, CEO and executive director, Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas. “The air quality and greenhouse gas benefits of MTA's purchase of RNG have the potential to be multiplied many times over with the passage of a New York Clean Fuels Program, a policy proposal that is designed to incentivize more fleets to choose cleaner fuels and is supported by a broad coalition of environmental and business groups in the state.”

Redeem is the first commercially available RNG vehicle fuel, derived from capturing biogenic methane that is produced from the decomposition of organic waste from dairies, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. Switching to Redeem will reduce the MTA’s carbon footprint of its natural gas transit buses.

About Clean Energy

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is North America’s leading provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market. Through its sales of Redeem™ renewable natural gas (RNG), which is derived from capturing biogenic methane produced from decomposing organic waste, Clean Energy allows thousands of vehicle fleets, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and heavy-duty trucks, to reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas by at least 70% and even up to 300% depending on the source of the RNG. Clean Energy can deliver Redeem through compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified natural gas (LNG) to its network of approximately 540 fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada. Clean Energy builds and operates CNG and LNG fueling stations for the transportation market, owns natural gas liquefication facilities in California and Texas, and transports bulk CNG and LNG to non-transportation customers around the U.S. For more information, visit www.CleanEnergyFuels.com.

New Green Hydrogen Projects Total More Than $3 Billion Investment

LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CleanEnergy--Mitsubishi Power — a world leader in power generation and short- and long-duration energy storage — accelerates the path toward 100% carbon-free power generation by launching the world’s first standard packages for green hydrogen integration. Intermittent renewable capacity is expected to almost quadruple by 2050,* and recent power shortages in California and elsewhere have elevated industry concerns that power balancing and energy storage are essential components to successfully operate a low-carbon power grid. Mitsubishi Power’s standard packages cut through the complexity power generators and grid operators encounter when integrating renewable power, gas turbines, green hydrogen and other energy storage technologies. In addition to two previously announced hydrogen projects, Mitsubishi Power has been selected as the green hydrogen storage integrator for three projects, totaling more than $3 billion, using its new standard packages.



Mitsubishi Power’s integrated green hydrogen solutions are the Hydaptive™ package and the Hystore™ package. The Hydaptive™ package provides renewable energy flexibility by acting as a near-instantaneous power balancing resource that greatly enhances the ability of a simple cycle or combined cycle power plant to ramp output up and down to provide grid balancing services. It integrates a hydrogen and natural gas fueled gas turbine power plant with electrolysis to produce green hydrogen using 100% renewable power and onsite storage of green hydrogen. Patent-pending TOMONI™ software and controls enable rapid load response by integrating operations of the gas turbines and the electrolysis plants. The package is available for new gas turbine power plants or as a retrofit to existing plants to improve flexibility and extend asset life.

The Hystore™ package combines the Hydaptive™ package with access to large-scale off-site hydrogen production and storage infrastructure, enabling large-scale renewable energy storage that shifts variable renewable energy over time, from hours to seasons, and provides reliable and cost-effective carbon-free energy when the grid needs it most.

With these packages, Mitsubishi Power seamlessly optimizes integration across renewables, energy storage, and gas turbines, which all work together to create and incorporate green hydrogen — the key to reaching zero-carbon emissions. The green hydrogen energy storage system includes three key elements. First, electrolysis plants convert excess renewable energy into hydrogen. Next, storage mediums such as salt caverns, pipelines or above ground vessels store this “green hydrogen” for hours to seasons, depending on the grid’s needs. Finally, hydrogen-enabled simple cycle or combined cycle gas turbine power plants convert the green hydrogen into centralized dispatchable electricity. Together, this storage system enables further balancing of renewable energy and better equips states and utilities to reliably and cost effectively meet their climate goals.

Mitsubishi Power’s previously announced green hydrogen projects in Delta, Utah, are the inspiration for the Hystore™ package. These are the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project and the $1.9 billion Intermountain Power Project. Today, Mitsubishi Power is announcing three new projects, with investments totaling more than $3 billion, that can use the Hydaptive™ package to help convert units over time from natural gas to hydrogen energy storage. These projects each include JAC gas turbine power islands that are initially capable of operating on 30% green hydrogen, with future capability of operating on 100% green hydrogen.

The first project is at Danskammer Energy, LLC in Newburgh, New York, with a capacity of 600 MW. Danskammer’s CEO William Reid said, “We are committed to helping New York meet its climate targets. We selected Mitsubishi Power’s product because it would ready our facility to be a hydrogen-based zero-carbon power generator. By partnering with Mitsubishi Power for integrated green hydrogen generation and storage technologies, we hope to provide leadership in developing short- and long-duration energy storage infrastructure in New York State.”

The second project is being developed by Balico, LLC in Virginia. Balico’s CEO Irfan K. Ali said, “Balico’s fully permitted 1,600 megawatt Chickahominy Power Project is poised to deliver the critical Dominion Zone PJM market and Virginia the most efficient and reliable gas turbine technology in the world. We are excited at the prospect of even further environmental improvement by incorporating Mitsubishi Power’s innovative renewable hydrogen based technologies.”

EmberClear chose Mitsubishi Power’s package for its fully permitted 1,084 MW Harrison Power Project in Cadiz, Ohio. EmberClear’s President and CEO Raj Suri said, “We look forward to the flexibility the Mitsubishi Power technologies will provide as we ramp green hydrogen integration. We expect this plant to be the first hydrogen-capable project to reach commercial operation east of the Mississippi River. We also plan to use Mitsubishi Power as the green hydrogen integrator in our Eastern Pennsylvania project, which is in the early stages of development.”

Mitsubishi Power’s package approach includes a technology, services and financial wrap, which ensures technical and commercial predictability and provides customers confidence that the integrated solutions will operate safely, reliably and cost effectively for decades.

Paul Browning, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Americas, said, “We previously announced two green hydrogen projects in Delta, Utah, that were the inspiration for the Hystore™ package, which provides massive long-duration storage of renewable energy. We are now announcing three additional projects that will utilize the Hydaptive™ package to provide greatly improved power plant flexibility and make a power plant 'hydrogen ready' as hydrogen infrastructure matures and renewable storage requirements increase. These standard packages offer a total solution to our customers who are seeking to integrate power generation with power storage. With these projects and others to come, we will create a true path to the zero-carbon power grid of the future. Together with our customers, we are creating a Change in Power.”

Sixgill’s Unified AI Platform and Computer Vision Technology Enable CleanConnect.ai’s Rapid Go-To-Market with Game-Changing Solutions

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--Sixgill, LLC, a leading AI IoT platform provider for unified end-to-end machine learning lifecycle management, announced a partnership with Colorado-based CleanConnect.ai to deliver a suite of AI solutions to the oil and gas industry. Sixgill's Sense AI platform enables CleanConnect.ai to rapidly and easily train, deploy and manage computer vision models for their oil and gas customers, expanding their solutions portfolio and unlocking the value of AI-powered automation and insights.


Autonomous technologies are becoming essential to oil and gas operators’ strategic initiatives for improved operational agility and environmental compliance. By continuously collecting and processing data from video cameras installed on oil and gas sites, the CleanConnect.ai solutions suite, powered by Sixgill Sense, provides operators with “hands off” automated intelligence and instant alerts, saving operators significant cost, labor, and time while facilitating immediate, accurate mitigation and remediation.

The companies also announced the commercial availability of the solutions suite that includes real-time Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) gas leak detection, non-invasive tank-level monitoring, and security surveillance.

Game-Changing Innovation

The Sixgill and CleanConnect.ai partnership offers fast and easy-to-deploy video camera and computer vision technologies with full integration and managed services that automate oil and gas operations and compliance in new ways, including:

  • Real-Time VOC Gas Leak Detection
    AI-powered VOC leak scanning continuously monitors and detects gas emissions and triggers alerts for leak location and severity. This highly accurate, automated system uses FLIR OGI cameras and custom-trained AI software to detect, quantify, locate leaks, and send notifications to customers in real time.
  • Tank-Level Monitoring and Tracking
    Automated camera-based tank-level monitoring creates a highly accurate, non-invasive remote system to enable regulatory compliance without opening the tank thief hatch. Fully integrated computer vision technology gives operators a new, highly efficient way to continuously monitor measurements, track and log data.
  • Security Surveillance
    Video data streams provide continuous input to ML-automated oil and gas site surveillance for perimeter protection, license plate recognition, sensitive zone monitoring, and threat detections, such as unauthorized vehicles, unrecognized objects, and suspicious activity. Auto-generated real-time alerts eliminate reporting delays and enable proactive investigation.

High-Impact Partnership

Sixgill and CleanConnect.ai formed their partnership based on a shared vision that by implementing the power and efficiency of AI, some of the most intensive challenges faced by the oil and gas industry can be solved today, such as:

  • Increased state and federal regulations for VOC monitoring
    Oil and gas producers are seeking immediately available technologies to meet increasing state and federal regulatory compliance requirements. Colorado, for example, has enacted a law known as SB-181 that requires continuous VOC gas leak detection and tank-level monitoring. Other states, such as Utah, California, and New Mexico are also enacting strict air emission regulations.
  • High cost and inefficiency for 97% of LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) truck rolls
    According to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), 97% of LDAR truck rolls do not result in a reported leak. Costs for labor, time, and vehicles are incurred for each truck roll (when technicians are dispatched). The CleanConnect.ai solution can eliminate those truck rolls so the LDAR teams only need to be deployed after a leak has been automatically detected by CleanConnect.ai’s AI solution.
  • Critical necessity for continuous site security intelligence
    Oil and gas sites are targets for acts of sabotage that can result in equipment damage and operation interruption or complete stoppage, which can take months to restart. To prevent loss, it’s vital for operators to maintain nonstop, 24/7 threat monitoring of the area surrounding facilities as well as sensitive restricted zones.

“Sixgill is pleased to join forces with CleanConnect.ai to accelerate their launch of an AI solutions suite that solves some of oil and gas operators’ most critical challenges, including protecting the environment and keeping sites, workers, and communities safe,” said Carlos Anchia, CEO of Sixgill. “Our highly sophisticated Sense platform equips data scientists and ML engineers with centralized end-to-end tools they need to create computer vision solutions. For non-technical stakeholders, Sense makes the magic of AI-powered discovery accessible for the first time.”

“In these turbulent times, the oil and gas industry needs AI efficiency and automation more than ever,” said Mark Smith, President of CleanConnect.ai. “We’re pleased to partner with Sixgill, a company immersed in AI technologies with proven ability to deliver with great urgency and accuracy.” Smith added, “Within five years, we believe 10,000 oil and gas pad sites in the U.S. and Canada will be remotely monitored and managed by harnessing the power of AI to achieve autonomous field operations and predictive optimization.”

About Sixgill

Sixgill provides an industry-first AI IoT platform for end-to-end machine learning (ML) lifecycle management. The Sixgill Sense platform empowers enterprise executives, data scientists, and ML engineers with one unified system for computer vision and IoT solutions.
