About Us
Leading The Energy Transition
Our Mission
Safe, Reliable, And Built To Last
The next decade is critical for transforming the way that we generate, transmit, distribute, and consume electricity as a global society.
Our mission is to lead the sustainable transformation of the outdated
electric grid through increased renewables penetration, non-wires alternatives, and power decentralization.
Our safe and cost-effective
energy storage solutions are revolutionizing the way energy is generated,
transmitted, and distributed for utilities, IPPs, and energy consumers worldwide.
Our energy storage systems are helping to mitigate the economic and environmental
impacts of climate change by ensuring that no energy is left to waste.

The company evolved by
marrying its robust supply chain management with technology and a vital social mission.
We own or manage every step in our supply chain. From sourcing battery cells to the on-site
installation of projects, we leverage our domain expertise to provide the highest-value, cost-
