New strategic investment in EPC Power, the only U.S.-based provider of an end-to-end power conversion solution, helps fuel the U.S. economy’s clean energy transition

POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EPC Power Corp., a leading North American supplier of high-performance, utility-scale, smart inverters, today announced the Sustainable Investing business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Goldman Sachs) and Cleanhill Partners have acquired a majority stake in its company. The strategic investment, along with a comprehensive recapitalization, positions EPC Power to expand and deliver against rapid growth in the renewable energy storage markets while helping facilitate the U.S. economy’s clean energy transition.


The transaction closely follows the signing into law of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which among other provisions extends a first-ever tax credit to stand-alone energy storage, creating a significant financial incentive for adopting EPC Power’s inverters and other technologies. EPC Power is the only U.S.-based, end-to-end power conversion solution provider, making its technology well-suited for grid-scale applications that require added layers of security.

EPC Power is extremely proud of the strong reputation and track record we’ve built by focusing on product innovation and forging deep relationships with our customers,” said Devin Dilley, co-founder and chief executive officer of EPC Power Corp. “As the world becomes more reliant on renewable energy, inverters need to continue to get smarter. Goldman Sachs and Cleanhill Partners support this vision and are committed to investing in EPC Power and our people to capitalize on this exciting market opportunity and to positively impact the U.S. energy transition.”

In an exploding market of cleantech innovators, EPC Power stands out for its industry-leading technology, which directly supports the renewable energy transition while preserving grid reliability and performance,” said Rakesh Wilson and Ash Upadhyaya, managing partners at Cleanhill Partners, which first invested in EPC Power in 2021 when it underwrote a credit facility to support its growth; since then, the firm has also provided counsel on operational matters and facilitated strategic partnerships to help the company achieve rapid scale. “As prior investors in EPC Power, we have every confidence that the company will meet its ambitious and environmentally critical objectives and we are excited to partner with Goldman Sachs for the next stage of EPC Power’s growth.”

EPC Power is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in the evolution of the U.S. solar and energy storage value chains and is now well capitalized to continue its trajectory of rapid growth,” said Alexander Mass, managing director of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “As the only scaled supplier of smart inverters that are designed, engineered and 100% manufactured in the U.S., EPC Power is a natural continuation of our thematic investment activity in this space, in partnership with Cleanhill Partners and EPC management.”

Energy storage installations globally are projected to multiply 20 times by the end of 2030 compared to the end of 2020, according to BloombergNEF’s 2021 Global Energy Storage Outlook. The U.S. is currently the world’s biggest market for energy storage.

EPC Power’s smart inverters are uniquely suited for applications in stand-alone energy storage, solar energy storage and data center backup power. They enable the buildout of battery storage required to support the proliferation of renewable energy generation. Going beyond the role of traditional inverters to feed power into the grid, “smart” inverters are powered by advanced software and work dynamically with the grid to increase resilience, reliability, safety and security.

To date, EPC Power has sold more than two gigawatts of smart inverters globally. EPC Power is based in Southern California, operating its first manufacturing facility in Poway in San Diego County, with a second U.S. manufacturing location on the East Coast scheduled to open in late 2022 to significantly expand production capacity. To support its growing customer base in Europe, EPC Power also maintains an engineering and sales office in Helsinki, Finland. The company employs approximately 180 people.

William Blair served as the exclusive financial advisor to EPC Power; Foley & Lardner served as legal counsel to EPC Power; Vinson & Elkins and Kirkland & Ellis served as legal counsel to Goldman Sachs and Cleanhill Partners.

  • This feature allows users to generate advanced microgrid designs that reflect real-world positioning and allow the interconnection of multiple microgrid ‘nodes,’ which can each support their own technologies and loads as well as transfer energy.
  • The feature will allow users to connect up to 25 technologies, including fuel cells and solar PV, during the microgrid design process and co-locate multiple systems at each node to most efficiently meet the needs of the project.
  • Xendee’s optimization software even takes into account cable length, losses through transferring energy, and the most efficient ways to generate and distribute energy from multiple energy sources at all hours of the day.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As organizations seek new sustainable energy solutions to meet carbon reduction goals, microgrids and distributed energy resources (DERs) have emerged as both a financially viable and resilient alternative to traditional utility services. However, even though onsite energy production offers a wealth of benefits, it also requires a great deal more planning, engineering and maintenance than a simple utility connection. These microgrid projects are made further difficult by the fact that microgrids must be designed to fit the dimensions of the building, the local weather conditions, and to meet the specific needs of the facility—be it a small house or a massive research laboratory.



To help meet this engineering challenge, particularly in larger projects, Xendee has released a new multi-node feature that enables users to create advanced, interconnected microgrid networks from a constellation of smaller microgrids or DERs that can support up to 25 technology types, including solar PV, battery storage, hydrogen, hydrokinetic and more. The multi-node feature enables the use of multiple nodes (a bus bar where multiple technologies or loads can be circuited together) and utilizes real-world location data of each point to optimize the final design and investment strategy. This allows for a more realistic model of communities or campuses and allows energy to be generated, used, and transferred in the most efficient manner.

“Xendee’s new multi-node feature gives engineers the tools to design large scale or interconnected microgrids using the same tools as a normal project,” says Michael Stadler, CTO and co-founder of Xendee. “We are moving past simple energy and economic modeling to allow the design of entire networks of microgrids. These networks can consider cable length, transformer requirements, power flow, and the losses due to distribution between the nodes. With multi-node, users can simultaneously satisfy energy and power demands for their systems, leveraging the best possible architecture while saving significant time throughout the design process.”

The multi-node feature allows each node to essentially act as its own energy node, with its own connection to the wider energy system and a bus bar to connect to up to 25 different types of renewable and traditional energy generation sources. The nodes can also be connected directly to building loads, for instance, a large industrial motor. This feature allows Xendee to suggest different functionality methods at particular nodes to help meet high-load portions of the facility. Multi-node can also help users avoid under or oversizing distribution equipment and cut costs by placing energy technologies as close as possible to where it will be consumed.

The multi-node feature will benefit several use cases, including modeling microgrids within large facilities, comparing rooftop and cable-fed field installations, and examining energy input and output demands based on geographic locations. The multi-node interface can also be equipped with an additional feature that layers power flow and voltage considerations within a model. With power flow included, models can calculate the optimal energy outputs and investment while also considering power constraints on cables or other electrical equipment. The multi-node feature also provides reporting based on each node’s dispatch, power flow, voltage, network losses, and a system balance table.

Xendee will be exhibiting at RE+ in Anaheim, September 19th-22nd, at Booth 4581.

Elimination of greenhouse gas emissions from in-person notarizations would be equivalent to removing 800,000 cars from roads, each year

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New data from Notarize, the leading online notarization platform, and The Bridgespan Group, a global nonprofit advisory firm, examined the potential social return on investment and positive environmental impact of online notarizations. The findings reveal Notarize’s platform leads to material positive environmental impacts for notorious paper, car and shipping-dependent industries like real estate, financial services and automotive by reducing their dependencies on processes that produce greenhouse gas (GHG). By 2031, digitizing the entire notarization market across all industries is expected to reduce nearly four million metric tons of GHG emissions, or the equivalent of over 800,000 cars a year.


1.25 billion documents are notarized in the US each year, and prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, these notarizations overwhelmingly took place in-person. This process is both time-consuming and requires a remarkable number of resources – from signing stacks of 100+ sheets of paper, to overnight shipping and frequent car trips back and forth to meet in person and complete signatures.

“We have been diligently building the infrastructure needed to make remote online notarizations compliant, simple, and secure since 2015. We launched the company knowing we could expand access to notaries, while also evolving the legacy process to make it more delightful for customers. Years later, a global pandemic created a greater need for safety and convenience for transactions, and now online notarizations also have the ability to support pen-and-paper industries in their ESG goals,” said Pat ​​Kinsel, founder and CEO of Notarize. “The data tells us just how impactful this is — not only for consumers but also for waste prevention in these very traditional businesses.”

Key findings of the report found that transitioning to remote online notarizations leads to:

  • A 10 percent decrease in printing on a per-notarization basis
  • A reduction of 1.9 Kg of GHG emissions per-notarization in ecommerce transactions
  • A reduction of 2.3 Kg of GHG emissions per-notarization in business transactions
  • A staggering 9.8 Kg reduction of GHG emissions per-notarization for real-estate transactions
  • Rural and suburban areas are on average 33.5 and 7.8 miles round trip, respectively, and the biggest contributor to GHG emissions per-notarization

More findings from the survey can be viewed here.

Methodology

In the pursuit of rigor, Bridgespan’s methodology bases all estimates and assumptions on the most rigorous research and evidence available. Bridgespan applied a discount to future projections for early-stage organizations, mirroring the risk adjustment that venture capital investors assume when they consider forward-looking projections; this means that despite Notarize’s track record of consistently hitting goals, Bridgespan applied a discount factor of 15 percent to all forward-looking projections. This risk rate also factors in the likelihood that the share of the US electrical grid supplied by renewables will continue to increase along the number of electric vehicles in use.

About Notarize

Notarize is the leader in online notarization, which is simpler, smarter and safer than notarizing documents on paper. From buying or selling a home, to adopting a child, Notarize is bringing trust online 24/7 for life’s most important moments. For more information, please visit notarize.com.

Energy assets can reduce vulnerability from fossil fuels supply, while Demand Response (DR) and trading can help to reduce cost and generate revenues, according to GridBeyond’s latest report


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#DR--The energy crisis that has been building for a year has mostly affected the UK and European countries so far, but its impacts are starting to be felt in the US.

In the UK, wholesale energy prices increased rapidly from the second half of 2021. As a net importer of energy, the UK is exposed to volatility in gas prices. In addition, last year, countries in Asia and Europe used significant amounts of gas stocks during a long winter, which drove up prices, while the reopening of economies following the Covid-19 pandemic also sparked higher demand. More recently, the conflict in Ukraine has led to the cost of gas soaring even further, which has in turn pushed bills higher.

While the US may import only a small amount of Russian oil and gas it is tied to Russian energy via its participation in highly globalized supply chains.

In 2021, the US imported about 626,000 barrels per day of oil (7% of imports) from Russia. To put this amount into context, the US produces 75% of its crude oil supply and 90% of its natural gas supply domestically. This gas is used to generate 37% of US electricity demand. Natural gas’ share of US generation is expected to remain largely constant in spite of higher prices this year, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has said.

The average price of electricity for residential consumers could reach $0.1524/kWh in 2023, the EIA forecast on 7 September in its latest Short Term Energy Outlook. That would represent about a 3.3% increase from this year. Businesses across the country will see similar increases, but the increase in energy prices is not uniform across the country. Wholesale electricity prices in the Southwest are expected to average 25% higher than in 2021. Meanwhile the highest forecast wholesale prices are at more than $100/MWh in ISO New England (up 96% from 2021) and New York ISO (up 124% from 2021).

Renewable energies can reduce US vulnerability to fossil fuel supply and help businesses to navigate the energy crisis. But an increasingly renewables-based power system means a growing need for more flexibility in the system to manage peaks and troughs caused by intermittent generation.

Wayne Muncaster, SVP for North America said:

“The use of DR and trading generate savings and revenues while helping businesses to manage this current crisis and react quickly to market volatility.

“In these times where the cost of energy is rising, many large energy consumers like manufacturers, cold storage industries, but also hospitals and large retailers’ companies could look at DR to mitigate against price peaks, while supporting the transition towards net zero”.

DCVC leads the largest Series A funding round for a water technology company with $33 million in financing to scale ZwitterCo’s revolutionary membrane technology that treats the toughest industrial wastewaters for reuse and is immune to irreversible fouling.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZwitterCo, Inc., the advanced membrane technology company, today announced the largest Series A funding round in history for a water technology company. The $33 million financing, led by DCVC, will expand the development and production of its revolutionary zwitterionic membrane technology.



ZwitterCo’s technology delivers what the water industry has been seeking for decades: a rugged polymeric membrane that is immune to irreversible fouling. Traditional membrane performance degrades with every cleaning cycle until the membranes no longer work and must be replaced. For tough-to-treat wastewaters, membrane replacement occurs frequently, increasing the operational complexity and cost of running wastewater plants. ZwitterCo membranes, by contrast, perform as new after every cleaning cycle.

ZwitterCo leverages its patented zwitterionic copolymers to build highly advanced membranes that solve the toughest wastewater separation challenges. The performance advantages of ZwitterCo’s membranes make them unique. They can be used in a wide variety of new applications and operating environments, given their ability to repel thousands of times more organic compounds than standard membranes. The company is building a suite of membrane products with these and other capabilities, bringing the precision and reliability of filtration to historically underserved markets.

“ZwitterCo has unlocked the true potential of zwitterions for water treatment, resulting in a leap in membrane performance,” said Chris Drover, co-founder, and CTO of ZwitterCo. “The mechanisms behind fouling and degradation that plague traditional membranes do not apply to our products.”

A zwitterion is a special class of molecule that is “hydrophilic” or highly attractive to water molecules. ZwitterCo’s patented zwitterionic copolymers self-assemble into hydrophilic channels, acting like flumes at a water park, ushering through H2O molecules, and repelling everything unable to flow through its narrow pores, including organic compounds such as oils, fats, greases, or proteins.

ZwitterCo’s first product, a superfiltration (SF) membrane, targets challenging industrial wastewaters for treatment and reuse. “Today, over 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity at various times during the year,” said Alex Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of ZwitterCo. “As the world works to adapt to population growth and climate change, reusing wastewater safely and economically is imperative.”

Since introducing their SF in 2021, ZwitterCo has booked over a dozen commercial projects and completed dozens more successful pilots. As a result, ZwitterCo is already tackling some of the hardest wastewater treatment challenges, including digestates, leachates, O&G-produced water, poultry & dairy, bioprocessing, and food & beverage wastewaters. Additionally, ZwitterCo membranes are used in novel process applications where fouling recovery, ruggedness, and exacting tolerances are essential, such as protein extraction from bio-fermentation.

The Series A funds will allow the company to add applications development, increase its pilot fleet, and build inventory to meet the strong demand for ZwitterCo products. The funding will also commission ZwitterCo’s state-of-the-art innovation center just north of Boston, accelerating the development of new membrane products based on ZwitterCo chemistry.

One-sixth of the world’s freshwater withdrawals, an estimated 500 billion gallons a day, become industrial and agricultural wastewater. Accelerated depletion of our groundwaters and aquifers, as well as protracted droughts, are worsening water scarcity and threatening food production. As a result, safe and economical wastewater reuse has never been more critical.

“At DCVC, we invest in Deep Tech companies that address urgent, global problems while providing outsized returns for our investors,” said Jason Pontin, a Partner at DCVC and Chairman of ZwitterCo’s Board of Directors. “ZwitterCo’s novel membrane chemistry will help solve water scarcity around the globe by making it easy and affordable for a wide variety of industries to adopt water reuse.”

DCVC led ZwitterCo’s Series A financing, with participation from new investors Heritage Group Ventures, Genoa Ventures, and Mott Corporation. Existing investors MANN+HUMMEL Corporate Ventures, Burnt Island Ventures, and R-Cubed Capital Partners also participated in this round.

About ZwitterCo

ZwitterCo’s breakthrough membrane technology enables filtration for the most challenging separations. The company leverages the remarkable power of zwitterions to create an intensely hydrophilic membrane that resists fouling from organic molecules such as fats, oils, and proteins. The unique properties of their membranes give a pathway to the next generation of water treatment, precision separation, and resource recapture. ZwitterCo has been recognized by the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center as a leader in clean water technologies.

Transaera emerges from stealth mode to further the development of sustainable cooling technology

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Impact Partners LP (“EIP”), a global investment platform leading the transition to a sustainable energy future, announced today that its Deep Decarbonization Frontier Fund (the “Frontier Fund”) led the seed round in Transaera Inc., the innovative pioneers behind a novel air conditioner providing affordable, energy-efficient dehumidification. The round closed at $4.5 million; EIP was joined in the round by Carrier Ventures, Saint Gobain, and MassCEC.


Air conditioners produce up to 7-11% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, a number expected to double by 2050. Dehumidification is key to efficiency because conventional A/C systems overcool the air to condense out moisture, leading to wasted energy. Transaera’s technology improves the efficiency and comfort of cooling, while simultaneously reducing emissions.

“All air conditioners perform two functions at once: cooling and dehumidifying,” said Sorin Grama, CEO and Co-Founder of Transaera. “The dehumidifying part accounts for almost half of the energy consumption of an air conditioner, especially in hot and humid climates. By separating these two functions and taking care of the dehumidifying part in a new way, we can dramatically reduce the energy consumption of an air conditioner.”

Transaera was co-founded by Mr. Grama, an experienced entrepreneur who previously scaled a refrigeration company, and Mircea Dincă, Professor of Energy in the Department of Chemistry at MIT. The company’s technology uses an innovative sponge-like material that grabs moisture from the atmosphere enabling the air conditioner to cool the air more efficiently. The heat generated by the unit is then used to dry the material for the next cycle.

"MOFs are central to several energy technology innovations,” Professor Dincă commented on the technology. “Their ability to adsorb large quantities of moisture are transformational for heat transfer and air-conditioning applications, with Transaera leading the charge in understanding how to apply these revolutionary materials in real devices."

Transaera was named one of eight finalists in the Global Cooling Prize, an international innovation competition to develop an affordable and sustainable residential air conditioner. The company’s enabling technology is its metal organic framework desiccant which can dehumidify air much more efficiently without increasing equipment complexity and cost. The proprietary desiccant material, spontaneously absorbs water vapor, allowing room air to dry. Dry air is easier to cool with a high-efficiency AC unit, thus reducing the overall electricity consumption.

“Our investment in Transaera will support the availability of a climate technology capable of dramatically lowering the cost and energy intensity of cooling at a time when it’s needed most,” said Ashwin Shashindranath, Partner at Energy Impact Partners. “We’re incredibly impressed with the team’s technology and are excited to continue supporting their growth and impact on this industry.”

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CGRN #Biogas--Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CGRN), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, announced that DTC Soluciones, Capstone's exclusive distributor for Mexico, has secured an order for two Capstone C600 Signature Series microturbine systems totaling 1.2 MWs.


"Supporting manufacturers as they seek to meet their reliability and resiliency needs while managing costs and lessening their environmental impact is a rewarding part of the Capstone business model," said Darren Jamison, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. "We continue to see demand for our products and services from the commercial and industrial sector worldwide. I appreciate our distributor's focus on educating and engaging these customers in Mexico and elsewhere on how Capstone products can help them reach their goals."

One of the core challenges faced by the manufacturing industry is the need for reliable and efficient energy solutions that reduce operational costs, increase reliability, and support sustainability goals. Capstone's scalable microturbine energy systems are engineered to meet commercial and industrial manufacturers' large electrical and thermal demand requirements. Capstone microturbines can reduce energy costs by producing electricity at a lower cost than the price of power supplied by local utilities.
