Chesapeake is a valuable customer, and this transaction will both strengthen Chesapeake and allow Williams to enhance the value of our significant midstream infrastructure by bringing adequate capitalization to these low-cost gas reserves.”

Put Dimming the Dining Room Lights and Opening the Oven Door Less on your Holiday Menu
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As millions of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) customers get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, here are some ways to gobble up energy savings and serve a side dish of safety this turkey day.
“Holiday celebrations may look different this year as a result of the pandemic, and we want to help our customers keep electrical and gas safety in mind as well as ways to reduce energy costs. Whether you are gathering with a smaller, immediate family group or connecting virtually, we hope everyone finds time to safely enjoy this special time of year,” said Laurie Giammona, PG&E Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer.
PG&E shares these simple tips for customers enjoying the holidays:
Fire safety is critical on Thanksgiving as it is the peak day for home cooking fires especially when frying foods. Turkey fryers can easily tip over spilling hot oil across a large area. Customers should only use turkey fryers outdoors on a sturdy, level surface away from things that can burn.
PG&E also asks customers to adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local guidelines to help protect communities from COVID-19 during the holidays. Wear a mask in public settings, avoid close contact by staying at least 6 feet apart (about 2 arms’ length) from anyone not in the same household, and wash hands often with soap and water.
For more ways to stay safe this holiday season, visit www.pge.com/safety.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sherritt International Corporation (“Sherritt” or the “Company”) (TSX:S) today announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer, David Pathe, has informed the Board of Directors of his desire to step down from his role in 2021. The Company is launching a search for his successor, and Mr. Pathe has agreed to stay on until a replacement is in place to ensure an orderly transition.
Mr. Pathe’s leadership during his eight-year tenure guided Sherritt through an era characterized by difficult and unpredictable nickel prices and the financial threats posed by the Ambatovy project by preserving the Company’s liquidity and working relentlessly to improve its balance sheet. These achievements will allow Sherritt to capitalize on opportunities that lie ahead. Sherritt’s Board of Directors would like to thank Mr. Pathe for his years of service and dedication.
“I would like to thank all of the employees of Sherritt for their hard work and tireless commitment to our Company,” said David Pathe, President and CEO of Sherritt. “Their resilience and determination have enabled Sherritt to address its challenges and respond to an enormous amount of change. I leave Sherritt knowing that the Company has more runway to take a leading market position in the coming electronic vehicle revolution and in hydrometallurgy technology innovation, and the time is right for someone new to take Sherritt forward to the next stage of its history.”
Mr. Pathe was appointed as President and CEO effective January 1, 2012 and also served as Chair of the Board from June 13, 2017 to June 26, 2019. Prior to becoming President and CEO, Mr. Pathe acted as Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of the Company from March 2011, as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary from July 2009, as Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary from October 2008 and as Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Corporate Secretary from June 2007. Mr. Pathe was also an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the mining industry, having served as Co-Chair of the 30% Club and as a member of the Catalyst Canada Advisory Board. Mr. Pathe was recognized for these efforts by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) as their 2020 Diversity and Inclusion Award winner.
“David’s tenure as Chief Executive was over a time as difficult to manage as any the Company has faced in its over 90-year history,” said Sir Richard Lapthorne, Chair of the Board of Directors of Sherritt. “He was responsible for finding the funds required to meet Sherritt’s contractual obligations from the legacy Ambatovy Project and, over the past six years, succeeded in finding ways to gradually improve the balance sheet, ultimately through exiting Ambatovy completely, which was achieved this past August. All of this was delivered while steadily improving performance from operations despite no help from the nickel price and increasingly hostile U.S. policy towards Cuba.”
Under Mr. Pathe’s leadership, Sherritt introduced and executed against a set of strategic priorities designed to advance its suite of long-life low-cost assets while prudently managing its finances, with highlights including:
“David accomplished all of the milestones in his strategic plan while maintaining a clear commitment to environmental stewardship, ensuring the health and safety for our employees and fostering a diverse and inclusive culture,” added Sir Richard. “Quite simply, David is leaving Sherritt having given it a new ability to look forward and the Board sincerely wishes him every success with whatever he decides to do in the coming years.”

New VersaView 6300 industrial PCs and thin clients allow users to create a single, secure and dependable visualization system
MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) announced today the release of new industrial PCs and software to markedly improve the reliability and security of visualization applications. Visualization systems are often among the most expensive plant floor systems to maintain and are a common target for unauthorized users looking to access control system assets and intellectual property.
The new industrial Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300 PCs and thin clients combine with FactoryTalk View human-machine interface (HMI) software and ThinManager thin-client management software to create a complete visualization system. Thin clients are computers connected remotely to a server storing applications, rather than using a local hard drive. For mission critical applications, users can deploy ThinManager redundancy or a VersaView 6300 PC running local and remote applications to help ensure reliability if server communications are lost.
In addition, unlike most industrial PCs, each model in the VersaView 6300 family is individually designed to minimize or remove frequent points of failure like fans and connectors, helping reduce costs and extend the life of the PC.
“These new industrial PCs and the ability to create a more reliable and cost-effective visualization system are the result of our acquisition of ASEM S.p.A., an Italy-based provider of automation technologies,” said Dan DeYoung, hardware business director, Rockwell Automation. “We’re also working to bring the acquisition to fruition in other valuable ways, such as by offering greater customization and breadth to our industrial computers and expanding remote connectivity options.”
Customers can enhance cybersecurity when they use the new industrial PCs with ThinManager software. Multiple PCs with locally stored applications spread across a plant floor can increase the attack surface and security risks. ThinManager software allows applications to run and be maintained from a central and secure location.
Additionally, when users acquire both the visualization hardware and software from one source, support is simplified. This can reduce the headaches, costs, and mean time to repair that typically come from working with multiple vendors for support issues. Users can also save money by taking advantage of the flexible content delivery methods and simplified licensing that are available from a Rockwell Automation-based system.
The new Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300B box PCs and thin clients deliver dependable performance and are available in multiple options to match user application needs. Other benefits include:
The new Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300P panel PCs are scalable to meet a range of performance requirements. Other benefits include:
VersaView 6300 industrial PCs include Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC, the latest Microsoft Windows 10 IoT enterprise version. Ethernet ports are also gigabit ports to handle high volume network traffic.

GLADBECK, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In conjunction with European Hydrogen Week, global power leader Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today shared new research revealing that more than half of the United Kingdom (UK) commuters would be willing to travel to work on a train or bus powered by hydrogen to lower their carbon footprint and reduce emissions and nearly half of commuters in Belgium and Germany expressed the same view. This new data was obtained through a survey of 6,000 respondents in Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom in October 2020.
“It is encouraging to see the citizens and governments across Europe are prioritizing the climate and understand that investment in hydrogen technologies is a path to improve the environment and fuel economic recovery from the impact of COVID-19,” said Amy Adams, Vice President of Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Technologies at Cummins. “With both the EU and the UK pledging to be carbon-neutral by 2050, there is, in short, real appetite from policymakers and citizens to make a collective difference. Hydrogen is a key part of Cummins’ portfolio of solutions to help our customers succeed and as a path toward zero emissions.”
The survey results demonstrate positive attitudes towards clean technology alternatives for public transport, with about 40% consumers in Belgium, Germany and the UK willing to pay £1 or €1 more for their daily commute in order to lower their carbon footprint.
48% of British citizens expressed that low-carbon technologies are important for the UK’s economic recovery from COVID-19. In addition, more than 40% of citizens in Belgium and Germany agreed that low-carbon technologies are important for their country’s economic recovery plans.
When asked about buying or renting a car powered by hydrogen, over a quarter of respondents in Belgium and the UK reported concerns with the upfront cost. Less than 20 percent of consumers in Germany, the UK and Belgium were also deterred by the limited amount of hydrogen refuellers available. Furthermore, one in five UK citizens believe that it will take 20-30 years for there to be more cars powered by hydrogen fuel on the road than gas-powered cars, and nearly a quarter believe this will never happen. A third of consumers in Germany and more than a quarter in Belgium agreed.
Fortunately, European consumers are willing to switch to more sustainable public transport – and this technology is available now. Alstom’s iLint, for example, has proven that hydrogen trains are an effective solution for more sustainable rail networks in Europe. With the right commercial technologies in place, consumers can lower their carbon footprints without facing additional costs.

Methodology
This research was conducted through Google Surveys in October 2020. Commissioned by Cummins, 6,000 consumers were surveyed across Belgium, Germany and the UK.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$AP #ACECool--DPW Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW) a diversified holding company (“DPW,” or the “Company”), announced that its power electronics business, Coolisys Technologies Corp.® (“Coolisys®”), has established a program targeting both national and regional fast-food franchisees to install the ACECool™ electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers as a part of a revenue sharing program. The program initially will be funded from the Company’s recent capital raising activities. The program is expected to be launched in California, Nevada and Canada. While the Company is excited about Coolisys’ new franchise program, there is no assurance that the program will be successful.
The Company expects that the program will allow franchise owners and operators to install the ACECool™ EV chargers and share in the net revenue from advertising and network usage. This same program is anticipated to be a model for other strategic industry-focused and geo-focused networks. Coolisys expects to launch its program with a national fast-food network franchisee that forms a part of a network with over 1,000 locations. Coolisys expects to announce other network partners in the first quarter of 2021.
Global EV sales rose a dramatic 65% from 2017 to 2018, for a total of 2.1 million vehicles, with sales figures steady through 2019. The subsequent outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, however, resulted in a 25% decline in EV purchases during the first quarter of 2020. Despite these setbacks, EV demand is again expected to rise according to a study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which sees improved batteries, more readily available charging infrastructure, new markets and price parity with internal combustion engine vehicles as the major growth drivers. The study estimates that EVs will comprise 10% of global passenger vehicle sales by 2025, rising to 28% in 2030 and 58% in 2040. In terms of expanding the current infrastructure to support EV deployment, McKinsey reported that by 2030 more the $30 billion will need to be spent on the rollout of EV chargers and, that by 2030, the US market for services to support the charging of EV fleets could be worth $15 billion.
Amos Kohn, President and CEO of Coolisys, said, “The opportunities for Coolisys in the burgeoning EV marketplace are anticipated to drive our sales growth over the next 60 months and beyond. We look forward to the potential changes coming from increased demand for EVs and the recent trends related to government support of the electrification of transport. I believe we are well positioned to leverage these opportunities as a 50+ year old company experienced and capable of creating innovative and highly-efficient power systems and solutions.”

Cascade Energy Storage Project located outside of Stockton will provide critically needed capacity and reliability, helping to manage state’s rapidly expanding renewable generation resources beginning in 2022
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broad Reach Power (“Broad Reach”), an independent power producer (IPP) based in Houston which owns a five gigawatt portfolio of utility scale solar and energy storage power projects in Montana, California, Wyoming, Utah and Texas, announced today that it has acquired the 25-megawatt (MW)/100-megawatt-hour (MWh) front-of-the-meter Cascade Energy Storage project located outside of Stockton, Calif. from a subsidiary of Enel.
“California’s expansive push towards a carbon free grid, largely through wind and solar generation, makes energy storage a critical component of the grid’s infrastructure. Cascade marks the first of several projects that will allow Broad Reach to help California operate the grid safely and reliably as more renewable generating sources come online,” said Broad Reach Power Vice President of Corporate Development Justin Amirault. “We are excited to be early adopters to help California achieve its important objectives and pleased to have worked closely with an experienced developer like Enel.”
Cascade had been developed by Enel and was selected by PG&E to provide resource adequacy under a 20-year agreement signed in 2017. Broad Reach expects to continue the development and begin construction next year to bring the project online in 2022. The Cascade Energy Storage Project joins Broad Reach Power’s rapidly growing portfolio of battery assets in Texas, where Broad Reach is the leading owner of standalone storage projects in the ERCOT interconnection queue, and across the western United States where the company has more than 700 MW of projects with signed interconnection agreements.
“Similar to our Texas effort, we have built a significant project portfolio in the California ISO over the last year through greenfield development and M&A, and we are pleased to announce the Cascade acquisition to the market,” added Broad Reach Power’s Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer Steve Vavrik, whose company is backed by leading energy investors EnCap Investments L.P., Yorktown Partners and Mercuria Energy. “In California and other regions of the west where there is similar renewable penetration and increasing power demand, we are on a mission to develop and acquire storage assets in any stage of the development scale.”
“EnCap is bullish on the expanding need for batteries in the power markets and enthusiastic about the growth and performance of Broad Reach Power,” said EnCap Energy Transition Managing Partner Shawn Cumberland. “The EnCap Energy Transition Fund is currently behind approximately 800MW of energy storage projects. We know of no other financial player that has committed as much equity to U.S. battery projects either in operation or under active construction.”
About Broad Reach Power

TOULOUSE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ISAE-SUPAERO:
Extracting energy for ultra-long range flights
Since the pioneering work of Lord Rayleigh in 1883, it has been observed that some birds such as Albatrosses can achieve outstanding flight durations and ranges by using wind gradients over flat surfaces. More recently, two Ph.D. programs conducted at ISAE-SUPAERO have provided new insights into the physical mechanism which consists of extracting energy from wind gradients with the objective of transferring the strategy onto fixed-wing drones. A potential range gain of 40% for a given drone has been identified and this can be achieved by applying the flight strategies inspired from Albatrosses and other natural flyers.
The ambition of the ‘Drone Mermoz’ project is to combine different sources of energy in order to achieve a long-range flight with a 100% electrically powered drone. The challenge will consist of following the historical route taken by Jean Mermoz in 1930 between Dakar (Senegal) and Natal (Brazil). The total distance is about 3000 kilometers which proves impossible with a conventional battery-based electric drone.
The key technology to achieving such a long-range flight is based on fuel cells supplied by H3 Dynamics. Because fuel cells produce electricity from Hydrogen and only reject water into the atmosphere, Drone Mermoz will be a collaborative effort between H3 Dynamics and ISAE-SUPAERO to design, manufacture and fly the first 100% green drone to achieve such long distances. Using the best aircraft design strategies available, ISAE-SUPAERO will endeavour to design an optimized drone with a total mass of less than 25 kg to make an attempt at the record in 2021.
ISAE-SUPAERO’s commitment towards sustainable development
The ‘Drone Mermoz’ initiative is in line with ISAE-SUPAERO’s investment in innovative aeronautical and space technologies in a sustainable development perspective.
ISAE-SUPAERO is well aware of the environmental issues such as climate change and energy transition. It has embarked on a mission to raise awareness and the direction of research at ISAE-SUPAERO puts in place environment-conscious research programs thanks to technological innovations and eco-design of cleaner aircrafts.

CARSON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#266Patent--DMF Lighting, the leader in modular downlighting innovation, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB or Patent Office) entered judgment in favor of DMF in an inter partes proceeding trial instituted at the request of AMP Plus Inc., d/b/a ELCO Lighting (ELCO) to challenge the validity of DMF’s U.S. Patent No. 9,964,266 (“the ‘266 Patent”). This continues a string of victories by DMF in its litigation against ELCO in the Patent Office and district court that started from ELCO’s improper copying of DMF’s patented DRD2 products.
In August 2018, DMF filed a patent infringement suit against ELCO in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles based on ELCO ELL LED products that ELCO copied from DMF’s award-winning DRD2 LED products. In March 2019, the District Court granted DMF’s request for a preliminary injunction against ELCO and all those acting in concert with ELCO that were selling the accused infringing ELCO ELL products. On March 19, 2020, the District Court also granted summary judgment in DMF’s favor, finding that ELCO infringed ‘266 Patent claims, dismissing ELCO’s unenforceability defenses and dismissing most of ELCO’s validity challenges. A trial will be held to determine if ELCO also infringes other additional patent claims and to consider ELCO’s remaining validity challenges that are based on two primary pieces of prior art. That trial has not been scheduled yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In parallel to the District Court case, ELCO also has tried to invalidate the ‘266 Patent claims in the Patent Office based on the same two pieces of prior art at issue in the District Court. On March 17, 2020, the Patent Office ruled in DMF’s favor that ELCO’s validity challenge, based on one piece of prior art, did “not demonstrate a reasonable likelihood that [ELCO] will prevail” as to any patent claims. The Patent Office did grant a trial on the other piece of prior art. On November 19, 2020, the Patent Office issued a judgment in DMF’s favor, ruling that ELCO failed to invalidate any of the 22 challenged patent claims except for one claim.
“We are pleased with the Patent Office decision today, which recognizes the innovative technology of the DRD2,” said Michael Danesh, DMF COO. “DMF invests heavily in research and development to create innovative solutions in lighting.”
DMF Lighting brings a creative approach to lighting and offers industry-leading technology that sets the bar for performance, quality, and flexibility. Every DMF product delivers outstanding performance, reliability and aesthetics. DMF LED lights produce accurate color rendering, smooth dimming, and have low power consumption.
