2026 is the year of Energy Storage.

On March 16, 2026, Governor Healey signed an executive order directing Massachusetts to deploy 5 gigawatts of new energy storage by 2035.

The state is paying buildings to help. We enroll your Powerblock in various programs that pay you. This enables grid resilience and energy abundance in the state.

More grid capacity

Solar interconnection queues stretch years in most service territories. The state needs capacity. Distributed storage is the fastest, cleanest way.

Fewer ugly projects

Grid headroom gets used one way or another. Utility-scale developers are already identifying sites in Massachusetts towns. Those projects deliver no direct benefit to the buildings next door.

Drives down costs

Commercial demand charges in Massachusetts can account for 30 to 70% of a building's bill. The problem is structural and it is getting worse.

We left Harvard to deploy affordably here in Massachusetts.

Team

Our team prides itself on balancing topical expertise with a range of skillsets. From Harvard drop-outs, to PhD-level optimization engineers, to battery management system designers, to hands-on operators, to our network of local electricians, we share a belief that energy infrastructure should serve the people who live and work inside it. The best way to build that is to show up, do excellent work, and earn trust one town at a time.

Our advisors include the Global Head of Sustainability at JLL, the CEO of CREtech, and operators who have worked at Tesla and inside some of the most advanced battery and grid programs in the country. We also work closely with fire marshals and utilities who helped shape the safety codes that govern commercial battery storage.

We are backed by strong capital partners including Vine Ventures, Floodgate, SV Angel, Nova, Alt Capital, with smaller investments from top names in energy and real estate.
