Mainspring Energy Launches New Power Generation Technology and Announces $150 Million Contract with NextEra Energy Resources
- Mainspring Energy, Inc. today launched the Mainspring Linear Generator, the first product in a brand-new classification of power generation technology for business as well as industrial buildings, utilities, as well as microgrids.
The expanding required for a reliable, budget friendly, as well as low-carbon electrical grid is driving need for brand-new power generation technologies that can make it possible for considerably raised use of renewable resource while offering enhanced resilience versus all-natural disasters, enhanced flexibility, as well as lower price than the electrical grid. Mainspring's breakthrough technology, based upon study originally carried out by the firm's founders in a thermodynamics lab at Stanford University, is made to fulfill these needs by supplying dispatchable, fuel-flexible power that substantially lowers cost and also carbon today, while speeding up the shift to the net-zero carbon grid.
The firm also introduced it has gone into a $150 million agreement with NextEra Energy Resources to purchase Mainspring devices and also finance client projects starting in the very first fifty percent of 2021.
A major national supermarket chain, one of the Fortune 500 consumers in Mainspring's pilot program, has actually signed a contract to increase release of Mainspring Linear Generators to power up to 30 grocery stores.
